This is what I put on all of my sites

User-agent: Fasterfox
Disallow: /
User-agent: *
Disallow:
Sitemap: http://...../.....txt

The sitemap is just a text listing of all the urls in UTF-8. Sitemap is a recent addition to the robot.txt spec and the big 3 all grab it now. Much easier if you have lots of sites to do this than fuck around with the google stuff.

The Fasterfox thing is due to some FF plugin or something that causes "false" hits to your site because it preloads pages.
