I have a site with the following structure: http://www.example.com/folder1/folder2/folder3 I would like to disallow

  • 0

I have a site with the following structure:

http://www.example.com/folder1/folder2/folder3

I would like to disallow indexing in folder1, and folder2.
But I would like the robots to index everything under folder3.

Is there a way to do this with the robots.txt?

For what I read I think that everything inside a specified folder is disallowed.

Would the following achieve my goal?

user-agent: *
Crawl-delay: 0

Sitemap: <Sitemap url>

Allow: /folder1/folder2/folder3
Disallow: /folder1/folder2/
Disallow: /folder1/
Allow: /

    Yes, it works… however google has a tool to test your robots.txt file

    you only need to go on google webmaster tools (https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/)

    and open the section “site configuration -> crawler access”
