    Creating a robots.txt file will not improve your search engine positioning, but it does provide robots with information concerning which files you will not allow to be crawled and indexed in the search engines. When a robot crawls your site it looks for the robots.txt file. If it doesn't find one it assumes automatically that it may crawl and index the entire site.

    But since you asked about how to create that file, then here's how:

    Generally these are used for pages for example admin pages which you don't want Google to display when searching for a particular keyword. These maybe something secure, or just something that isn't worth cache-ing by Google.

    The official website of the Robots.txt "organisation" (?) contains all the information you need. Besides the "disallow" command there is also the "allow" command, which isn't mentioned on the website.

    When doing your robots.txt file remember to include where your XML sitemap is located so search engines other than google can easily locate and crawl it.

    What is a Robots.txt file ?
    Robots.txt is a simple text file without any HTML code in it and is placed in the root directory like http://www.mywebsite.com/robots.txt

    Purpose of Robots.txt File
    When ever a web spider or crawler comes to your site for the purpose of crawling then it first of all search out robots.txt. From this file the spider gets this information about which pages of your site to be indexed and which to ignore.

    Contents of Robots.txt file:
    As its a text file so it can be created in any text editor. Robots.txt consist of records which contain information for search engines. Each record consist of two fields the user agent line and one or more of the following directives;
    Disallow
    Allow
    $wild card support
    *wile card support
    site map location

    Example of the Pattern:
    The fields in the record are written in the following pattern

    User-agent: googlebot
    Disallow: /support

    This robots.txt file would allow the "googlebot", which is the search engine spider of Google, to retrieve every page from your site except for files from the "support" directory. All files in the "support" directory will be ignored by googlebot.

    Although the robots.txt file is a very important file if you want to have a good ranking on search engines, many Web sites don't offer this file. From an SEO professional point of view like SEO London its recommended to include robots.txt file with in your website.
