Hi I am tring to do what I can to get my ranking back in google. The below was one of the things suggested. Can anyone tell me how to do this or steer me in the direction to learn how to do this. I have a blog and use wordpress. "Restrict all the unnecessary stuff from being indexed. Do this by tweaking the Robots.txt file of your website. we suggest you to use the following code in it User-agent: * Disallow:/page/ Disallow:/tag/ Disallow:/category/ Disallow:/wp-admin/ Disallow:/wp-includes/ Disallow:/wp-content/ Disallow:/wp-* Disallow:/author/ Disallow:/comments/feed/
I think it's a mistake to restrict spiders from indexing your category pages. The category pages are a fundamental part of your navigation structure.
