Cgi-bin folder

[Alick300]

Is there cg-bin folder of any site related to SEO in anyways and why we always block Cgi-bin folder in robots.txt.

[eyepaq]

No. No correlation with SEO.

However the same way you block your temp or admin folder, there is no need in letting any bot crawling your cgi-bin folder.

Cgi-bin folder holds executable file - you don't want external sources to see it anyway - it's "very" private from security reasons. You need more then knowing what's inside the folder to do harm but keeping it hidden is the wise call. Better safe then sorry.

As eyepaq says - it's for holding executable "program" files. search engiens don't need access so it gets blocked. If it's empty you can even remove it.
