Making sure search engines can easily find your website is important for getting more visitors. One way to do this is by using a file called robots.txt. In this guide, we’ll explain what robots.txt is and how to use it on your Blogger site.

What is robots.txt?

Robots.txt helps search engines know which parts of your site to look at and which to ignore. This can prevent issues like having the same content show up multiple times in search results.

1. Log in to your Blogger account and go to your blog’s settings.
2. Scroll down until you see Crawlers and indexing.

4. Click to add a robots.txt file.

6. Once you’ve pasted in the code, save your changes.
