      Hi,

      I have performed a site:www.menshealthanswers.co.uk search on Google and none of the pages are being indexed.

      I do not have a "noindex" value on my robot tag

      This is what is in place:

      Any ideas?

      Jason

        Hi Jason,

        In robots.txt you have added trailing slash that is the reason.

        http://www.menshealthanswers.co.uk/robots.txt

        Remove trailing slash from robots.txt.

        It should be -

        User-agent: *

        Disallow:

        Thanks

            • Should you use robots.txt for pages within your site which do not have high quality content or are not contributing a great deal so when Google crawls your site the best performing content has a higher chance of being indexed?
