      Hi,

      I have a new Wordpress site with a number of CAD files (.dxf& .dwg) downloadable straight from the site.

      These have been flagged in MOZ as warnings with everying from No Title/Description to duplicate content.

      Does anybody now how I would no index these type of files?

      Many thanks.

        Hi Jon,

        If your objective is to prevent Moz from reporting crawl issues from these file types, you don't want to nonidex/nofollow them, you simply want to prevent Moz's User Agent (rogerbot) from crawling these file types.

        Add these 3 lines to the top of your robots.txt file:

        User-agent: rogerbot

        Disallow: /*.dxf$

        Disallow: /*.dwg$
