Frequently Asked Questions

A robots.txt file is a simple text file located in the root directory of your website. It acts as a set of instructions for web crawlers (like Googlebot or ChatGPT's scraper), telling them which pages or files they are allowed to crawl and which ones they should ignore.

No, blocking specific AI training bots like GPTBot or Google-Extended will not impact your visibility in traditional search engine results pages (SERPs). Google uses a separate crawler (Googlebot) for indexing traditional search results. However, blocking these bots will prevent your site from being cited directly in AI tools like ChatGPT or Google's AI Overviews.

Common Crawl (CCBot) is an open repository of web crawl data that is freely accessible. Many major tech companies (including OpenAI, Meta, and others) use Common Crawl data to train their foundational Large Language Models. By blocking CCBot, publishers ensure their copyrighted content is not scraped en masse and used as free training data by third parties.

Yes. The robots.txt file relies on the "honor system." Major platforms like Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Perplexity publicly state they respect these directives. However, malicious scrapers or unverified bots may completely ignore the rules and scrape your site anyway. For stricter enforcement, you would need server-level blocks or Web Application Firewalls (WAF).
