## Beschrijving

iRobots.txt SEO (IRSEO) is a fully customizable robots.txt virtual file generator.
IRSEO creates a highly optimized and secure robots.txt file straight out of the 
box. Users may choose to enable or disable specific user agents, directories or 
files using intuitive options all of which include detailed instructions.

The robots.txt file is a text file located in the root directory of a website. It’s
purpose is to direct user-agents (AKA bots) away from or towards specific files 
or directories. Inhibiting a bot from indexing specific pages will ensure your website
remains keyword optimized and all indexed pages are relevant to your potential customers.

IRSEO also inhibits several WordPress system directories and files by default. Doing
this ensures that the search bots do not include security sensitive pages within
search results. For example, searching for “inurl:wp-content name size description”
in Google will produce a list of sites with indexed and open content directories.

Note that IRSEO creates a virtual robots.txt file. This robots.txt file is displayed
whenever access to the robots.txt file is requested.

## Installatie

 3. Edit the plugin settings using the admin page located under `Settings`.

## FAQ

  Does iRobots.txt SEO create or modify any files?

No. The robots.txt file serverd by IRSEO is virtual only. Your site will remain 
unmodified once the plugin is removed.

  Where can I learn more about robots.txt?

The official robots.txt information site is [http://www.robotstxt.org/](http://www.robotstxt.org/).
The Google robots.txt extensions are documented [here](http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=156449).

  Why does the robots.txt file not display?

If you type http://blog-name/robots.txt into a browser and are not presented with
the IRSEO virtual robots.txt file, there may be several causes:

 * Another plugin is creating its own robots.txt file. In this case, it is first
   in best dressed. Ensure that “Add sitemap URL to the virtual robots.txt file”
   option is not selected in XML Sitemap Generator.
 * You have a physical robots.txt file. In this case the physical file is displayed
   instead of the virtual file.
 * Your theme is not virtual file friendly. This is unfortunately the case for the
   excellent Arclite theme.

  Can I edit the robots.txt file?

Yes. In the “View Robots.txt” admin setting panel, select the “Enable free form 
editing” option. You will now be able to directly modify the robots.txt file from
within this pane.
