Robot.txt File Is Not Correct

[queenpictoria]

I am new and just haven't absorbed all the content just yet.

 

I am submitting my new website to search engines and I get the following comment:

"This site does not provide robots.txt file or it is not constructed properly."

 

I made a folder named "robots.txt" in my public_html folder on the domain, and have meta tags on each page: <meta name="robots" content="index,follow">

I am not sure what I am doing-- behind the curve a bit.

 

I am reading the information suggested, and it hasn't sunk in just yet. A primer would be appreciated. I am working on being patient with myself, and I hope I don't ask too much. Please let me know how I can correctly install the robots.txt file.

 

Also please let me know if I am asking too much. I am old enough to know how that works. Help/Support threw me back in the swim.

 

Thanks,

Robots.txt is a file not a folder.

it goes in your public_html folder.

Here is a site for more information.

 

And this one has a robots file generator.
