Robots.txt for VB 5

[Alsuheimat]

Need this file Robots.txt for VB 5.2.4

[Trevor Hannant]

Not something we supply, you will need to create your own.

[Wayne Luke]

The reason we do not supply a robots.txt is because the file is required to be in the root of the website. There is no guarantee that vBulletin will be in the root of the website. Many people actually do not install vBulletin in the root of their website.

Alsuheimat,

I faced similar thing. Google said it cannot crawl because robots.txt does not exist. I created a dummy file with following text in it

User-Agent:*

and put it into root of my website with sufficent access to read. Google and Bing picked it up.

Here is an example of a part of my robots.txt

Sitemap: http://madekozu.de/vbulletin_sitemap_index.xml.gz

User-agent: *
Disallow: /admincp/
Disallow: /usage/
Disallow: /logs/
Disallow: /rausda.php

User-agent: SentiBot
Disallow: /

User-agent: SentiBot www.sentibot.eu (compatible with Googlebot)
Disallow: /

User-agent: MJ12bot
Disallow: /

User-agent: MegaIndex.ru/2.0
Disallow: /

It makes sense to use its own settings. Which Bot may search, which is not? You'll have to decide for your project!

It is just a blank file with only one entry anyone attached....

Good example there. I may also exclude Baidu ...

[Madekozu]

i have exclude many (bad) bots - not with robot.txt - i do this over the .htaccess
