MemphiS Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Does having these two things on your site create a security risk in any way? other then telling people i guess what directories you wish robots to keep out of?

genericnumber1 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 no.. but I suppose people COULD in theory find what you're trying to hide without much effort... disallow /privatestuff really? Use authentication if you're trying to hide something critical from a crawler. Use robots.txt to keep them from crawling something useless like a 404 error page.
