Well, if you'd like some stats from a .au site with very much
non-technical, typically Australian-sourced traffic:

I think what Kevin meant is that the googlebot takes no notice of

I believe you got it somewhat wrong.
The basic purpose of a robots.txt file is to tell a search engine what
not to index - and you can issue different instructions to each robot
separately. It does not tell the robots which pages to index, except for
the basic tenet that anything not
Consider that a fairly significant proportion of IE6 users cannot upgrade as
they're using illegal copies of Windows XP. One of my clients did a fairly
large study (anonymous) where 18% of 10,000 users were using cracked copies
of Windows - I'm just wondering how much that'd sway the stats. For

most of the IE6 users I know are not thieves, they are clients that use IE6 as
part of their SOE. One organisation alone has several thousand IE6 users. They
do not choose their browser, nor their O/S.

Tee,
The reasons we (Accessites) look for a robots.txt file is because it keeps
honest bots from wasting their time and your bandwidth indexing
directories/files you don't want
Hi Michael,
That seems incredibly arbitrary when a robots.txt is purely optional -
especially as the default spider behavior is to index all unless told
otherwise. So you're penalizing people by having your robot behave in the
opposite manner? And regarding PICS labels, most people don't know how
Your problem is government doesn't care about what works for users. I'm
suprised it works on Firefox and IE 6 but not 7 as I thought 7 was more
not less standards compliant. But most businesses that actually make
money from the web will have to go with the market and work with the
latest

Nice to hear again about PICS. I use to label all my websites, but I've

It is my understanding, though, that an XML site map can help indexing
but being that I've never used one or looked into it much, I can neither
confirm or deny this.
google will review and index pages in a matter of hours when you submit an
xml site map. you put it in your site's root folder
There are actually two types or flavors of Site Maps. The first is the type
that is loaded up to your Web server and that is used by Search Engines to
spider your pages thereby playing a significant role in Page
rankings. These Site Maps are constructed and formatted according to
