- Subject: [IUG] Testing Server Missing robots.txt
Hi All,
We've been analyzing our search statistics locally and came across a
lot of anomalous data issues ... turns out, that the Testing Server is
missing a robots.txt file and Google, Yahoo, and MSN were all indexing our
III server, and throwing off our search stats. We have since added a
robots.txt file outside of the staging directory ie <server>:2082/robots.txt
with the following contents:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
#this should tell all search engines to ignore the testing server.
Hopefully this is helpful to others,
adam
