After all these years I suddenly hear about robot.html protection pages but can't find what I need to know.
Question...what does the robot.html page contain?
Question...where do you place it on your site?

Thanks.

    robots.txt is a simple text file placed at the root of your domain that tells obedient robots/spiders/crawlers what they are and are not allowed to access. If you have certain pages you don't want Google to index (test.html in the tmp folder for example) you'd put in a robots.txt file with this:

    Code:
    User-agent: Google
    Disallow: /tmp/test.html
