I am a website owner, and I was planning to update my robots.txt. What should be the strategy to use this particular file in managing search engine crawlers' access to different sections of my websites including considering keyword relevance and the overall strategy related to SEO for my website?

During the updation of the ‘robots requirements.txt format especially for the file related to SEO, the considerations of the strategic keyword are pivotal. You should begin by identifying the high-priority keywords that are relevant to your content and targeted audiences. Then after, incorporate these keywords into the directives of ‘robots.txt’, guiding search engine crawlers to prioritize indexing key pages. Do not forget to exclude the sections with sensitive or duplicate content that can dilute the relevance of the keywords. You should use wildcards judiciously to encompass the groups of URLs that should be under a common theme. Here is the coding structure to update robot.txt

Import requests

Def update_robots_txt(url, new_content):
    Robots_url = url.rstrip(‘/’) + ‘/robots.txt’
    # Fetch the current content of robots.txt
    Response = requests.get(robots_url)
    If response.status_code == 200:
        # Update the content
        Current_content = response.text
        Updated_content = current_content + ‘
’ + new_content # Append new rules
        # Send a request to update the robots.txt file
        Update_response = requests.post(robots_url, data=updated_content)
        If update_response.status_code == 200:
            Print(“robots.txt updated successfully.”)
        Else:
            Print(“Failed to update robots.txt.”)
    Else:
        Print(“Unable to fetch current robots.txt.”)
# Example usage:
If __name__ == “__main__”:
    Website_url = ‘https://example.com’
    New_robots_content = ‘’’
    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /private/
    Allow: /public/
    ‘’’ Update_robots_txt(website_url, new_robots_content)

You should also review regularly and update the ‘robots. Txt’ in order to align with the evolving keyword strategies. Do not forget to strike a balance between restricting access to non-essential pages. If you want to gain more knowledge on this particular topic then join our DevOps certification training course.
