    Robot.txt is a convention to prevent cooperating web crawlers and other web robots from accessing all or part of a website

    Robots.txt is a file through which you can guide search engines to crawl or not to crawl certain sections of your website.
    Google specifically follows instructions given in this robots.txt file

    Robots.txt is a text (not html) file you put on your site to tell search robots which pages you would like them not to visit. Robots.txt is by no means mandatory for search engines but generally search engines obey what they are asked not to do. It is important to clarify that robots.txt is not a way from preventing search engines from crawling your site.

    The robots exclusion protocol (REP), or robots.txt is a text file webmasters create to instruct robots (typically search engine robots) on how to crawl & index pages on their website.

    As mentioned above, robots.txt file is an instruction file for search engine crawlers, which instructs them about which pages of the website are to be crawled and which not be. By default, crawlers crawl all the pages, so basically this file is used to restrict the crawlers from crawling pages which we don't wan't to be get indexed by the search engines.

    Web site owners use the "robots.txt" file to give instructions the search engine robots; this is called The Robots Exclusion Protocol.



    User-agent: * Disallow: /

    The "User-agent: *" means this section applies to all robots.The "Disallow: /" tells the robot that it should not visit any pages on the site.

    Robot.txt play most important role for search engines. Robot.txt file is gives the instruction to the search engines that which pages to crawl or which are not.if you don't want to crawl some pages which are important then you can put the links in disallow part.

    As per my knowledge, A Robot exclusion standard is also known as robots exclusion protocol or robot.txt protocol. Robot.txt is a non-html text file which we put on our site to show search robots which page we would like them not to visit.
