Robots.txt help

Block Google on all pages except homepage via robots.txt

....
User-agent: googlebot
Disallow: /*

Will above mentioned code work?

 

I believe this might work:

User-Agent: *
Allow: /$
Disallow: /

Code (markup):

Source: http://webmasters.stackexchange.com...-disallow-all-pages-except-for-the-index-page

 

That will never work because i want to block only Google not all the robots.

 

Do

User-Agent: googlebot
Allow: /$
Disallow: /

Code (markup):

then...

 

Allow: /$

what does middle line denotes? I think $ denotes dynamic pages ...

Yes, I do agree with Helge,

$ designates the end of the URL so when you follow below code then you may block your entire website for Google bot except your home page.

User-agent: googlebot
Allow: /$
Disallow: /*

Code (markup):

If you have configured your website in Google webmaster then follow this step to test your robots.txt file live

• Sign in your Google Webmaster account
• Click on Crawl from the left side

I have tasted above code from Google webmaster tool and it's work

 

User-agent: * Disallow: /
