Is the robots.txt file necessary for seo?

Can it be useful for seo in any way?

It is if you want to remove some sub-pages from Google's index section.

You use a Robots.txt file to tell search robots which files to ignore (or alternatively) which files to crawl. It also helps Search Engines to locate the Sitemap of the website and hence crawl the entire website in depth... helping in your rankings and traffic.

Hi,
Its not necessary for seo. if you want to now index some pages from search engine.

Robot.txt file is not necessary for the, when we want to do not indexing the page of our site then you use the robot.txt or you want that your site not index the specific search Engine then you can use the robot.txt file. by default you site index the all search Engine.

Yes, it is necessary in SEO because when search engine crawler comes to your site, first it look for a file that robots.txt. Robots.txt directs the search engine spider, which pages of your website should be indexed and which one should be ignored.

Robots.txt is best technique of seo.it is use for fastly indexing the website. on the other hand it is use for block the images and sub pages for crawling.

Robot.txt is used to tell search engine which files to crawl and not. This is the main use of it in SEO.

It is not necessary if you want to index all pages of site but if one want to restrict some pages then robots txt file is the option where you can restrict web pages.

Yes, Using robots.txt file you can decide which pages in your site want's to crawl by Search Engines or not to crawl by Search Engines.

It's not mandatory, unless you have pages or subdirectories you don't want the search engines to access. Not all search engines obey the robots.txt, most do.

A ‘robots.txt’ file helps you to inform the search engine spiders which files to ignore and which files to crawl. It is text file which is located in root directory of website. This file is helpful to instruct search engine crawlers.
