Link-Assistant.Com, the creator of the SEO PowerSuite toolkit, has announced that its on-page SEO tool WebSite Auditor has been enhanced with robots.txt generation function.
Robots.txt files contain instructions for search engine crawlers on accessing Web pages, and website owners can use these files to hide confidential pages (i.e. pages meant for internal use only), to conceal pages with outdated information (i.e. past sales) and for improving overall SEO results by ensuring that only the best-converting pages show up in search results.
Users can set up the new function simply by hitting the robtots.txt button, selecting a page they want to protect from crawling in their WebSite Auditor's project, opting for disallow and choosing a search robot from the list.

"Taking into account recent and coming Google updates, SEOs should pay particular attention to best on-page SEO practices - that's when WebSite Auditor comes in handy."
