      Hi everyone,

      I just want to check something. If you have this entered into your robots.txt file:

      User-agent: *
      Disallow: /fred/

      This wouldn't block /fred-review/ from being crawled would it?

      Thanks

        /fred-review/ would be fine, as long as they are a separate directory you should have no problems.

          Ensure there are no re-writes active that may forward traffic from /fred/ to /fred-review/ and you should be good.
