Create a robots.txt file for your website

After you’ve created an xml sitemap, create a new text file in notepad and add the following to guide the google bot to your sitmap. this robots file also disallows the indexing of paths to the pdf and word docs on your site as well – this helps stop out of date links appearing in Google.

User-agent: *
disallow: /*.pdf$

disallow: /*.DOC$

User-agent: Googlebot

disallow: /*.pdf$

disallow: /*.DOC$

SITEMAP:  http://www.domainname.co.uk/sitemap.xml

New Search Engine: Cuil (pronounced Cool)

Found this new search engine Cuil that claims to be a bit different in that it’s apparently searching a lot more pages than Google and Bing.
I’m not sure it’s as good as it says it is, but it has an interesting layout and the Facebook plug-in is pretty cool – it’s quick too don’t you think?

You want to add your sites through this link if you can’t find it in there yet!
