Posted: May 13, 2006

Is MSN ignoring robots.txt files?

Here’s a screenshot from the MSN search for ‘Marissa Meyer’:

Here’s a screenshot of Google.ca’s robots.txt file:

Seems there’s a discrepancy between Google’s robots.txt file disallowing search results to be indexed and MSN having indexed the Google file: www.google.ca/search?q=marissa+meyer+google.

Might be time to start checking MSN results to make sure certain files aren’t being indexed.
