Yes that's right. You can use many Robots.txt generators that are available online. Do upload it and let us know about it. We can then discuss more on it
The two are mutually exclusive so you will not lose either regardless of what publishing platform you use
so i uploaded emtpy robots.txt file....google will still crawl my site righT? just wont be returning 404 right?
Hi, First there is no harm in changing the design or code of the page as far as it is more user friendly and search engine friendly (assuming you are not changing the URLs). Second using a blank robots file is of no use it has nothing to serve, but google recommend to host a robot to direct the bot. In this case you can add below code to your robots file User-Agent: * Allow: / The first line of code says that the instruction is valid for the User-Agent: (i.e. Search Engine Bots or spiders or crawlers) * (i.e All) Now the second line Allow: (Allow all crawlers) to index everything present at / (root directory) By this way you are not serving a purposeless robots file to the bots. You can even add your sitemap.xml file here for bots to index while crawling the robots. Since robots.txt is the first file that a crawler looks for when visiting any address. To do this just add below code after the line Allow: / Sitemap: (your full URL of sitemap with http) Remove the brackets. regards zabalex
No, Editing the site and publishing it in a different software will not change anything. The page rank and alexa ranking is to do with the hits and visitors to your website not what software it is made in.
The best thing to do if your ranking drop is to keep building anchor text backlinks for the keyword you want ranked. Whether you outsource this, use a reliable link building software or build the links yourself you should see a steady climb up the rankings if the link building is persistent.
