Advanced Robots.txt Generator

Create a clean, customizable robots.txt file for Blogger and other websites. Control crawler access, manage common URL patterns, add your sitemap, and review the configuration before publishing.

Preset Strategy

Presets are starting configurations. Always review the generated rules before publishing.

Sitemap

Use a complete absolute sitemap URL. A sitemap helps crawlers discover URLs; it does not force indexing.

SEO Risk Assessment

LOW RISK
Your current configuration has a conservative crawl-control profile.

Important

robots.txt controls crawling, not guaranteed deindexing.
If you need a URL removed from search results, use the appropriate indexing controls such as noindex or other supported removal mechanisms instead of relying on robots.txt alone.

Robots.txt SEO Guide

A robots.txt file tells compliant crawlers which URLs or paths they may access. It is primarily a crawl-management mechanism, not a guaranteed way to remove pages from search results.

When should you block a URL pattern?

Blocking can make sense when a site creates large numbers of low-value, duplicate, or parameterized URLs that you never want search crawlers to spend resources fetching. It should be based on your site's actual URL structure rather than a one-size-fits-all rule.

What about /search?

Internal search-result pages can create large numbers of low-value URLs. If your search pages provide no standalone SEO value, blocking their crawl paths can be reasonable. However, it is not an automatic requirement for every website.

Should I block labels?

Not necessarily. Label or category pages can provide useful navigation and landing-page value. Block them only when they are genuinely thin, repetitive, or otherwise unnecessary for your site's crawl strategy.

Does robots.txt remove pages from Google?

No. Robots.txt is designed primarily to control crawling. A blocked URL may still be discovered through links and can potentially appear in search results without a normal page description. Use appropriate indexing controls when the goal is to prevent indexing.

Do I need Crawl-delay?

This generator intentionally does not add Crawl-delay rules. Google does not use that directive for Google Search crawling, and unsupported directives should not be presented as Google optimization settings.

What about Google News?

Allowing a Google crawler does not make a site eligible for Google News. Eligibility and visibility depend on the site's content and Google's separate systems and policies.

Keep your robots.txt simple

A smaller, deliberate robots.txt file is generally easier to understand, audit, and maintain. Review the generated output before publishing it and make sure every blocked path is intentional.
