how to Adding Custom Robots.txt File In Blogger heathtricks

In our previous, we had discussed aboutcreating professional 404 error page and here we're back with another great and most important tutorial for all of you. Today we're going to enable a custom Robots.Txt file in Blogger which can really help you to index your blog in Google faster and it will also make your blog more search engine friendly. Robots.Txt file is used in every website but in the past with old Blogger interface we're unable to add that file in our blogs but now in the new interface which is really amazing with a lot of great features we can enable that file in Blogger. Those who don't know about Robots.Txt file can read the below passage to understand that file.

What is Robots.Txt File ?

That is a simple text file in which the website owner use to write the commands for the search engine's crawler. It means that we can instruct the search engine's crawler with that file that we part of our site can be indexed or not. That commands are written in different coding which is only for search engine's crawler. You can see your robots.txt file just by following the below URL.

http://www.yourdomain.com/robots.txt

 What Areas You Should Disallow For Crawling In Your Blog?

So, This question maybe coming in your mind that which areas of your blog you should disallow for crawling. In fact, You can disallow any area of your blog but there are some important areas for disallowing. If you disallow those areas then you blog will be more search engine friendly and that areas are Search Result pages, Archive pages and labels pages. However, Below I'm giving you an search engine friendly robots.txt file which will help you a lot.

Enable Custom Robots.txt File In Blogger

So, This process is so easy just follow the simple steps below.

• Go To Blogger >> Settings >> Search Preferences
• Look For Custom Robots.Txt Section In The Bottom and Edit It.

• Now a check box will appear tick mark "Yes" and a box will appear where you have to write the robots.txt file. So if you want to use our file then copy the code below and paste it in that box.

User-agent: Mediapartners-Google
User-agent: *
Disallow: /search?q=*
Disallow: /*?updated-max=*
Allow: /
Sitemap: http://www.yourdmomain.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=updated

• Note : The first line "User-agent: Mediapartners-Google" is for Google AdSense. So if you are using Google AdSense in your blog then remain it same otherwise remove it. 
• Click "Save Changes".

After adding the file now you must be wanted to understand your file that what we have allowed and disallowed. So, I've listed every command with detail below.

Explanations

• User-agent: Mediapartners-Google : So, This is a first command which is for those blogs which are using Google AdSense if you are not using Google AdSense then remove it. In this command, we're telling the AdSense's separate robot that crawl all pages which are having AdSense Ads.
• User-agent: * : Here the User-agent is calling the robot and * is for all the search engine's robots like Google, Yahoo etc.
• Disallow: /search?q=* : This line tells the search engine's crawler not to crawl the search pages.
• Disallow: /*?updated-max=* : This one disallows the search engine's crawler to do not index or crawl label or navigation pages.
• Allow: / : This one allows to index the homepage or your blog.
• Sitemap : So this last command tells the search engine's crawler to index the every new or updated post.

Got It ?

How Can I Add a Command For Disallowing Any Page?

So if you are interested in adding your own command then you can also do it. Here is an example for disallowing the contact page Disallow: /p/contact-us.html . So, first you will need to replace /p/contact-us.html which is other part of the domain with another. It mean you just need to exclude the main domain and just type remain part of the page. Two things you should remember that add your custom command below User-agent: * and per line = per command. If you still have not got it then ask in comments please.

Before understanding the process, it is important to know that what actually ALT and Title tags are? These are the HTML attribution or tags which are used for images. ALT is specially for image whenever you can use the Title tag anywhere. These tags describe about the thing in which they are implemented. For example, if I add "Best SEO Tips" keyword in image then it will tell the search engine's crawler that this image is about SEO Tips and this will help the search engine robot to understand the media content and rank them appropriately. If you put the most searched, popular and appropriate keywords in your image then your images will be ranked higher in image search results and you will be getting enough traffic from it.

In WordPress, that platform automatically take and add the keyword from image name but in blogger you will need to implement this manually. In order to implement this tactic in your images, Go To Blogger >> New Post >> Upload Image.

Advance Eid-Ul-Fitr 2015 Mubarak To Everyone With Happy Gifts

Today is a special day for all Muslims around the world because today is the Eid-UL-Fitr which is being celebrated by all the Muslims. This month was known as Ramazan according to Hijri Islamic Calender. Ramzan is a month of blessings and happiness in which all the Muslim pray by keeping fasts whole the month. A blessing month came and went away as it do every year. After praying the whole month, Muslims celebrate the Eid-UL-Fitr. I wish you happy Eid Mubarak to everyone, my lovely readers and visitors, dear friends and relatives and all the nations who celebrate this Eid.

How This Eid is Celebrated By Muslims?

I told you that Muslims pray the whole month by keeping fasts and when only 10 days left to complete the month then people go to the market for buying new clothes, sandals, shoes, watches and more for Eid. When it is the last fast of the month then in the evening, people go to their roofs to see the moon. If the moon appears then people get confirmed that tomorrow the Eid will be celebrated. After getting known about the moon, people start preparing for the Eid like pressing or iron their clothes, polish the shoes and preparing delicious food. After completing the preparing for Eid, it is time to sleep and wake up early in the morning. 

In the morning, most people wake up at 5:00 AM early in the morning and offer the prayer which is named as "FAJAR NAMAZ". Fajar Namaz is always being prayed by Muslims early in the morning mostly at 5:00 AM. After completing Fajar Namaz, people return to home from the mosque and prepare for the Eid. Women get started in cooking the food (breakfast) and men get showered. After the preparation, the men go to the mosque again for Eid Namaz. All the people gather in the mosque and pray the Eid Namaz. When the Namaz is done then they go back to their homes. Now it's time for everyone to enjoy the Eid. Kids ask their parents for pocket money from every relative and their pockets get fulled. And this is why most of people say that it's a big and the most happiest day for children. Now it's a children's choice to do what to with that money, some of them buys the toys and some other buy some delicious food to eat. This Eid is held three days after the Ramazan month and today is its first day. I hope you're also enjoying this Eid today.

What's The Eid Gift ?

Eid is the happiest day for all Muslims and they also give gifts to each other and loved ones. You're also my lovely readers who are always with me on my blog to learn and teach and new things everyday. I've prepared a gift for all you readers so that this day may bring more happiness to you.
