內容簡介
更好的 Robots.txt 外掛創建了一個 WordPress 虛擬的 robots.txt，有助於提升您的網站 SEO（索引能力、Google 排名等），以及您的加載速度 - 與 Yoast SEO、Google Merchant、WooCommerce 和基於目錄的網絡站點（多站點）兼容。
使用更好的 Robots.txt，您可以識別哪些搜索引擎被允許爬取您的網站（或不允許），明確指示他們可以做什麼（或不可以），並定義抓取延遲（以保護您的託管服務器免受侵擾）。更好的 Robots.txt 還通過自定義設置框架使您完全控制您的 WordPress robots.txt 內容。
通過 Better Robots.txt 減少您的網站生態足跡和與其存在於 Web 上相關的溫室氣體（二氧化碳）排放。
快速概述：
支持 7 種語言
Better Robots.txt 插件被翻譯成七種語言：中文、英文、法文、俄文、葡萄牙文、西班牙文和德文。
您知道嗎……
robots.txt 文件是放置在您的 Web 服務器上的一個簡單文本文件，告訴 Web 爬蟲（如 Googlebot）它們是否應該訪問一個文件。
robots.txt 文件控制搜索引擎蜘蛛看到和與您的網頁互動的方式；
這個文件和他們互動的機器人是搜索引擎工作的基本組成部分；
當搜索引擎爬蟲訪問一個頁面時，它會首先查看 robots.txt 文件；
robots.txt 是一個可以解鎖 SEO 神器的來源。試試更好的 Robots.txt！
關於 Pro 版（附加功能）：
1.使用站點地圖在搜索引擎上提升您的內容！
確保您的頁面、文章和產品，甚至是最新的，都被搜索引擎考慮到！
更好的 Robots.txt 插件是為 Yoast SEO 插件（可能是 WordPress 網站最好的 SEO 插件）設計的。它會檢測您是否正在使用 Yoast SEO，如果啟用了站點地圖功能，則會自動添加指令到 robots.txt 文件中，要求機器人/爬蟲閱讀您的站點地圖，檢查您是否在網站上進行了最新更改（以便搜索引擎可以爬取可用的新內容）。
如果您想添加自己的站點地圖（或者您正在使用另一個 SEO 插件），那麼您只需複製並粘貼您的站點地圖 URL，更好的 Robots.txt 將其添加到您的 WordPress Robots.txt 中。
2.保護您的數據和內容
阻止惡意機器人從抓取您的網站並營利化您的數據。
更好的 Robots.txt 插件可以幫助您阻止大多數常見的惡意機器人從爬取和抓取您的數據。
關於網站爬蟲，有好的機器人和壞的機器人。好的機器人，如 Google bot，爬取您的網站以使其為搜索引擎索引。其他的機器人出於更惡劣的目的爬取您的網站，例如為重新發布剝取您的內容（文本、價格等），下載整個網站存檔或提取您的圖像。有些機器人被報告出於對寬頻的大量使用而將整個網站下載下來。
更好的 Robots.txt 插件可以保護您的網站免受 Distil Networks 確認的惡意機器人伸手爬取的危害。
3.隱藏和保護您的反向鏈接
阻止競爭對手識別您的有利可圖的反向鏈接。
反向鏈接在其他網站連結到您的網站時生成。連接到外部網站的鏈接稱為反向鏈接。反向鏈接對於 SEO 很有價值。
原文外掛簡介
Better Robots.txt generates a virtual robots.txt for WordPress, enhancing your website’s SEO (indexation capabilities, Google ranking, etc.) and its loading performance. Our plugin is compatible with Yoast SEO, Rank Math, Google Merchant, WooCommerce, and directory-based network sites (MULTISITE) and features now (2023) exclusive Artificial Intelligence (OpenAI) optimization settings for greater performance.
With Better Robots.txt, you can specify which search engines are permitted to crawl your website and provide clear directives about their allowed activities. You can also set a crawl-delay to shield your hosting server from aggressive scrapers. Better Robots.txt empowers you with complete control over your WordPress robots.txt content through the custom setting box.
Minimize your site’s ecological footprint and the production of greenhouse gas (CO2) associated with its online presence.
According to ChatGPT (OpenAI), the robots.txt produced by the PRO version of Better-Robots.txt is the most sophisticated and comprehensive available on the WEB for a WordPress site.
A quick overview:
SUPPORTED IN 7 LANGUAGES
Better Robots.txt plugins are available and translated into the following languages: Chinese –汉语/漢語, English, French – Français, Russian –Руссɤɢɣ, Portuguese – Português, Spanish – Español, German – Deutsch.
Did you know that…
The robots.txt file is a straightforward text file positioned on your web server that instructs web crawlers (like Googlebot) on whether they should access a file or not.
The robots.txt file governs how search engine spiders perceive and engage with your web pages;
This file and the bots it communicates with, are integral components of how search engines operate;
The initial thing a search engine crawler examines when it visits a page is the robots.txt file;
The robots.txt is a reservoir of SEO potential that’s ready to be tapped into. Give Better Robots.txt a try!
About the Pro version (additional features):
1. Enhance your content visibility on search engines with your sitemap!
Ensure your pages, articles, and products, even the most recent ones, are recognized by search engines!
The Better Robots.txt plugin is designed to integrate with the Yoast SEO plugin and Rank Math (arguably the best SEO Plugin for WordPress websites). It will automatically detect if you are using Yoast SEO / Rank Math and if the sitemap feature is enabled. If so, it will automatically add instructions to the Robots.txt file directing bots/crawlers to review your sitemap for recent changes on your website (allowing search engines to crawl any new content).
If you wish to add your own sitemap (or if you are using a different SEO plugin), you simply need to copy and paste your Sitemap URL, and Better Robots.txt will incorporate it into your WordPress Robots.txt.
2. Safeguard your data and content
Prevent harmful bots from scraping your website and exploiting your data.
The Better Robots.txt plugin assists in blocking most common malicious bots from crawling and scraping your data.
There are both beneficial and harmful bots that crawl your site. Beneficial bots, like Google bot, crawl your site to index it for search engines. However, others crawl your site for more malicious reasons such as repurposing your content (text, price, etc.) for republishing, downloading entire archives of your site, or extracting your images. Some bots have even been reported to crash entire websites due to excessive bandwidth usage.
The Better Robots.txt plugin shields your website against spiders/scrapers identified as harmful bots by Distil Networks.
3. Conceal & safeguard your backlinks
Prevent competitors from discovering your profitable backlinks.
Backlinks, also known as “inbound links” or “incoming links,” are created when one website links to another. The link to an external website is called a backlink. Backlinks are particularly valuable for SEO as they signify a “vote of confidence” from one site to another. Essentially, backlinks to your website signal to search engines that others endorse your content.
If numerous sites link to the same webpage or website, search engines can deduce that the content is link-worthy, and therefore worth displaying on a SERP. Thus, earning these backlinks can positively impact a site’s ranking position or search visibility. In the SEM industry, it’s common for specialists to identify the sources of these backlinks (competitors) to select the best ones and generate high-quality backlinks for their own clients.
Given that creating highly profitable backlinks for a company is time-consuming (time + energy + budget), allowing your competitors to identify and replicate them so easily is a significant loss of efficiency.
Better Robots.txt aids in blocking all SEO crawlers (aHref, Majestic, Semrush) to keep your backlinks hidden.
4. Prevent Spam Backlinks
Bots that populate your website’s comment forms with messages like ‘great article,’ ‘love the info,’ ‘hope you can elaborate more on the topic soon’ or even personalized comments, including the author’s name, are widespread. Spambots are becoming increasingly sophisticated over time, and unfortunately, comment spam links can seriously damage your backlink profile.
Better Robots.txt assists in preventing these comments from being indexed by search engines.
5. Artificial Intelligence at the service of Robots.txt
In 2023, we added a robots.txt optimization feature based on OpenAI’s (ChatGPT) recommendations for any WordPress site. These settings maximize the efficiency of robots.txt for search engines to streamline the crawling of a website. More improvements are on the way…
In 2023, ChatGPT 4, after auditing several million robots.txt files available on the WEB, assessed that the robots.txt deployed by the PRO version of the Better-Robots.txt plugin was the most advanced, comprehensive, and sophisticated configuration currently available for WordPress environments. A point of pride for our team!
6. SEO Tools
In the process of enhancing our plugin, we’ve incorporated shortcut links to two crucial tools for those concerned about their search engine rankings: Google Search Console & Bing Webmaster Tool. If you’re not already utilizing them, you can now manage your website’s indexing while optimizing your robots.txt! We’ve also provided direct access to a Mass Ping tool, enabling you to ping your links on over 70 search engines.
Additionally, we’ve created four shortcut links to some of the best Online SEO Tools, directly accessible through Better Robots.txt SEO PRO. This means you can now check your site’s loading performance, analyze your SEO score, identify your current SERP rankings with keywords & traffic, and even scan your entire website for dead links (404, 503 errors, etc.) directly from the plugin.
7. Stand Out
We thought we could add a unique touch to Better Robots.txt by introducing a feature that lets you “customize” your WordPress robots.txt with your own distinctive “signature.” Many major companies worldwide have personalized their robots.txt by adding proverbs (https://www.yelp.com/robots.txt), slogans (https://www.youtube.com/robots.txt), or even drawings (https://store.nike.com/robots.txt – at the bottom). Why not do the same? That’s why we’ve dedicated a specific area on the settings page where you can write or draw anything you want (really) without affecting your robots.txt efficiency.
8. Prevent Crawling of Redundant WooCommerce Links
We’ve introduced a unique feature that blocks specific links (“add-to-cart”, “orderby”, “filter”, cart, account, checkout, etc.) from being crawled by search engines. Most of these links demand a significant amount of CPU, memory & bandwidth usage (on the hosting server) as they are not cacheable and/or create “infinite” crawling loops (while they are unnecessary).
By optimizing your WordPress robots.txt for WooCommerce when running an online store, you can allocate more processing power to the pages that truly matter and enhance your loading performance.
9. Dodge Crawler Traps
“Crawler traps” are structural issues within a website that lead crawlers to discover a virtually infinite number of irrelevant URLs. In theory, crawlers could get stuck in one part of a website and never finish crawling these irrelevant URLs.
Better Robots.txt aids in preventing crawler traps, which can harm crawl budget and result in duplicate content.
10. Growth Hacking Tools
Today’s fastest-growing companies, including Amazon, Airbnb, and Facebook, have all achieved breakout growth by aligning their teams around a high-velocity testing/learning process. This is referred to as Growth Hacking. Growth hacking is a process of rapidly experimenting with and implementing marketing and promotional strategies that are solely focused on efficient and rapid business growth. Better Robots.txt provides a list of over 150+ tools available online to propel your growth.
11. Robots.txt Post Meta Box for Manual Exclusions
This Post Meta Box allows you to manually set if a page should be visible (or not) on search engines by injecting a dedicated “disallow” + “noindex” rule inside your WordPress robots.txt. Why is this beneficial for your ranking on search engines? Simply because some pages are not meant to be crawled/indexed.
Thank you pages, landing pages, pages containing exclusively forms are useful for visitors but not for crawlers, and you don’t need them to be visible on search engines. Also, some pages containing dynamic calendars (for online booking) should NEVER be accessible to crawlers because they tend to trap them into infinite crawling loops which directly impacts your crawl budget (and your ranking).
12. Ads.txt & App-ads.txt Crawlability
To ensure that ads.txt & app-ads.txt can be crawled by search engines, the Better Robots.txt plugin ensures they are by default allowed in the Robots.txt file regardless of your configuration. For your information, Authorized Digital Sellers for Web, or ads.txt, is an IAB initiative to improve transparency in programmatic advertising.
You can create your own ads.txt files to identify who is authorized to sell your inventory. The files are publicly available and crawlable by exchanges, Supply-Side Platforms (SSP), and other buyers and third-party vendors. Authorized Sellers for Apps, or app-ads.txt, is an extension to the Authorized Digital Sellers standard. It expands compatibility to support ads shown in mobile apps.
