    Use of robot.txt gets a bit trickier when it comes to dynamic sites. Normally webmaster tend to rewrite their dynamic urls so that it appears like static and then follow that usual method of employing robot.txt. However with a fairly large site this could be a bit challenging.

    The other option you have is use wild card character while writing robot.txt instructions. You could visit this site which provides basic information about how to implement this at your end. Offcourse you could also Google it and you would find a lot of useful information on this subject.

    The only issue I see with using wild card characters is not all search engine spiders recognize them (MSN in particular) and would therefore be rendered useless in that case. But then not all search engines follow robot.txt either.

    A robots.txt file is nothing but a text file (notepad can be used). Copy the text below and edit it to what you need. The # is a "comment". And no blank lines (creates error)



    # Robots.txt file created by 10/03/2008
    # For domain: http://www.catanich.com
    #
    # All robots will spider the domain
    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /_common/ # Don't index directory
    Disallow: /_private/
    Disallow: /_ScriptLibrary/
    Disallow: /resources/index.htm # Don't index this file
    Sitemap: http://www.catanich.com/site-map.xml
    Sitemap: http://www.catanich.com/site-map.xml.gz


    Also, there is no wildcard commands or symbols.

    The use of "Sitmap" is a way to tell the SEs where the xml Sitemap is.

    Yeah, yeah, these funny robots.txt files ...
    You register a new domain - Then you place a provisional index.html on the server. Next step, installing a wordpress blog, taking care that all ping features are disabled and start to play with configurations and plug ins.

    Two weeks later do a search, just for fun - site:domain.com and what turns up, unbelievable but true - domain.com

    First thing I had to do was to check robots.txt - was, of cause there. Next step, uploading a sitemap and submit it to our beloved big G. What answer do you think I got? We can't grawl your site due to robots.txt exclusion!

    That's my last experience with robots.txt, just from the last two weeks.
