The robots.txt file is a text file used by websites to communicate with web crawlers. It helps manage search engine indexing by specifying which parts of a website should be crawled.
Example robots.txt File
User-agent: *
Sitemap: https://www.example.com/sitemap.xml
Sitemap: https://www.example.com/blog/post-sitemap.xmlExplanation
TNT Dental File Structure: Our sites combine static files in the root directory with articles in the /blog directory.
Multiple Sitemaps: The robots.txt file references both the main sitemap and the blog sitemap to ensure comprehensive indexing of all site content.
This setup helps search engines efficiently index both static content and blog posts, ensuring complete coverage of the site.
