    Just curious whether anybody could suggest some good basic robots.txt file for phpBB3 to exclude useless pages from index.

    The forum runs on Lighttpd and URLs are not rewritten.

    Spore Forums

    Thanks in advance :)

    From the PHPBB Knowledgebase
    Thwarting The Googlebot (and other helpful tips)


    User-agent: Googlebot
    Disallow: /posting.php
    Disallow: /admin
    Disallow: /privmsg.php
    Disallow: /search.php
    Disallow: /login.php
    Disallow: /memberlist.php
    Disallow: /images
    Disallow: /includes
    Disallow: /profile.php

    There are other tips there as well, so be sure to read it.
