We recently updated our
webmaster help center .
Two new sections that you may find particularly useful are:
Using a robots.txt file
Understanding HTTP status codes
Using a robots.txt file
We've added a new section of help topics in the
How Google crawls my site
section. These topics include
information on:
Understanding HTTP status codes
This section
explains HTTP status codes
that your server might return when we request a page of your site. We display HTTP status codes
in several places in Google Sitemaps (such as on the
robots.txt analysis page
and on the
crawl errors
page) and some site owners have asked us to provide more information about what these mean.
