# Mark's notes: # /robots.txt file for http://metergallery.com # # the user-agent field indicates which robots are covered, in this case all of them (*) # the disallow field is a relative path to what you don't want 'roboted.' # to add more disallowed items, create more Disallow: lines, don't just add more items to # the current one. User-agent: * Disallow: /admin/ # NOTES (from webcrawler): # The "/robots.txt" file usually contains a record looking like this: # # User-agent: * # Disallow: /cgi-bin/ # Disallow: /tmp/ # Disallow: /~joe/ # # In this example, three directories are excluded. # # Note that you need a separate "Disallow" line for every URL # prefix you want to exclude -- you cannot say "Disallow: /cgi-bin/ /tmp/". # Also, you may not have blank lines in a record, as they are used to delimit # multiple records. # # Note also that regular expression are not supported in either the User-agent # or Disallow lines. The '*' in the User-agent field is a special value meaning "any robot". # Specifically, you cannot have lines like "Disallow: /tmp/*" or "Disallow: *.gif".
