SEO Benefit in Robots.txt?
- SEO |
Another co-worker said that Google tries looking for the robots file for every website. When they don't find one at all, they generate a 404 error, which could hurt rankings. Given all of the millions of websites out there, many which do not have a robots file, I find this hard to believe. Maybe I'm wrong.
So my question is: Is there an SEO benefit to adding a Robots.txt file when you are not trying to block crawlers from exploring certain pages of your website? If so, what is the benefit?
Thanks for the help. I'm just trying to figure things out. We still use many inefficient or outdated SEO techniques in my office. I'm still learning, but I want to clean up our processes. You all rock.
