    The robots.txt file must be uploaded to the root accessible directory of your site, not a subdirectory. It should be something like /public_html/ or /htdocs/ depending on your host set up.

    In a root directory where all your webpages are uploaded.

    Always put your robots.txt file in your top directory (root directory).

    Never put robots.txt files in sub-directories – it will not be seen and even it is, the commands in the file will be completely ignored.

    Hey,
    In the main directory where your home page uploaded.
    It should be like www . domainname. com/robots.txt

    Thanks,
