What Do I Put In My Robot.txt File?

I'm trying to optimize my SE traffic. I was told to put this in my main directory
# /robots.txt for http://www.yoursite.com/
# comments to [email protected]/

User-agent: *
Disallow:
Allow: *
Im cofused as to what I place in for user-agent and disallow/allow parts.And does this help with robots spidering your other pages?Can anybody help with this?.Much appreciated.

robots.txt files aren't particularly important, unless you get annoyed with the 404 entries in your logs, or you're trying to keep a particular search engine out of part of your site.

For example, if you built a set of pages specifically for Inktomi on http://www.yoursite.com/inktomi/ and another set for Altavista on http://www.yoursite.com/altavista/ you could do the following:

User-agent: *
Disallow:

User-agent: Slurp
Disallow: /altavista/

User-agent: Scooter
Disallow: /inktomi/

This will keep Scooter out of the inktomi files and Slurp out of the Altavista files.

For more information check out the following website:
