All links are:
http://www.domain.com/foldername/filename.php
I added this to my robots.txt, please let me know if is correct:
Code:
User-agent: *
Sitemap: http://www.domain.com/sitemap.xml
Disallow: /link/
Disallow: /link/*.php$
Is better to use both of them?
Or one of this lines is enough?
If yes, whats line is better?
After doing this, is better to use webmaster tools to say google to remove that links from search results?
I think that they have this option right? If is a good idea, can you please teach me by saying the steps that I need?
Thank you guys!
Best regards! |
You don't need the second disallow as access to /link will be blocked based on the first disallow.
As far as Webmaster Tools, it wouldn't hurt to remove the links there as well, but I wouldn't do it instead of robots.txt (there are plenty of other sites that could potentially index the content). I would, however, upload your sitemap to Webmaster Tools if you haven't already.
