Sitemap in robots.txt

Expand Post »
I thought you were supposed to put a link to your sitemap in your robots.txt (isn't that what you said, stymiee?)

My robots.txt now looks like the following:
Sitemap: http://www.daniweb.com/sitemap.xml
User-agent: *
Disallow:

Google Webmaster Tools robots.txt says "Syntax not understood" for the sitemap line.

Re: Sitemap in robots.txt

You can. Google announced it in their blog. Looks like they haven't updated their webmaster tools to reflect that. I wonder where can inform them of it?

Re: Sitemap in robots.txt

Oh!!! This information is really helpful. Does Yahoo have a nofollow facility?

Re: Sitemap in robots.txt

They say they do but many people also claim they haven't implemented it yet.
