Kya aapne kabhi suna hai ki “robots.txt se page Google se hide ho jata hai”? Ye sabse common galatfehmi hai. Is guide mein hum Google ki official guidance ke hisaab se samjhenge ki robots.txt kya hai, ye kis kaam aata hai, kis kaam nahi aata, aur beginners kaunsi galtiyan karte hain.
Robots.txt ek technical file hai, isliye galat rule poori site ki crawling par asar daal sakta hai. Koi bhi badlav karne se pehle dhyaan se padhein.
Robots.txt kya hota hai?
Google ke mutabik robots.txt wo file hai jo search engine crawlers ko batati hai ki aapki site par kaunse URLs wo access kar sakte hain. Is file ka main kaam aapki site par requests ka overload rokna hai. Isse aap kam kaam ke ya milte-julte pages ki crawling bhi kam kara sakte ho.
Ye file site ke root par rakhi jaati hai, jaise https://example.com/robots.txt. Aap ise browser mein khol kar dekh sakte ho.
Robots.txt kis kaam ke liye nahi hai?
Google saaf kehta hai ki robots.txt kisi page ko Google se bahar rakhne ka tareeka nahi hai. Agar aap nahi chahte ki koi page Google mein dikhe, to Google ke mutabik noindex ya password protection use karna chahiye.
| Aapka maksad | Sahi tareeka |
|---|---|
| Crawler ki requests ya unimportant pages ki crawling kam karna | robots.txt |
| Page ko Google search se bahar rakhna | noindex ya password protection |
Robots.txt ki limitations (Google ke mutabik)
- Har search engine na maane: Googlebot aur doosre respectable crawlers rules follow karte hain, lekin har crawler follow kare, ye zaroori nahi.
- Syntax alag samjha ja sakta hai: Alag crawlers rules ko thoda alag tarah se interpret kar sakte hain.
- Blocked URL phir bhi index ho sakta hai: Agar doosri sites us URL ko link karti hain, to wo Google mein aa sakta hai, par uska description nahi hoga.
- Embedded files par bhi asar: Blocked page ke andar ki images, videos ya PDFs bhi crawl nahi hongi, jab tak koi doosra allowed page unhe reference na kare.
- Rules ek dusre ko kaat sakte hain: Crawling aur indexing ke rules mix karne par kuch rules apna kaam nahi kar paate.
Ek simple robots.txt kaisa dikhta hai?
Ek basic file mein aam taur par ye lines hoti hain. Ye sirf samajhne ke liye example hai, ise bina soche apni site par copy mat karein:

WordPress blog ke liye kya dhyaan rakhein?
WordPress sites par robots.txt aksar automatically ya SEO plugin/hosting settings se manage hoti hai. Isliye pehle apnadomain.com/robots.txt kholkar dekhein ki abhi kya likha hai. Agar aap beginner ho aur sure nahi ho, to default rules ko mat chhedo. Galat Disallow: / jaisa rule poori site ki crawling rok sakta hai.
Kisi bhi badlav ke baad Search Console mein pages check karein. Search Console kaise use karte hain, ye Google Search Console beginner guide mein hai.
