Is this a file that I must attach to my website – If I use front page how do I apply it there? What exactly needs to be done in order to fully maximize my listings with this feature? Your advice is greatly appreciated! Askjoe

It tells bots, what they are allowed to spider, it does not really tell them where to go though. How to set it up gets explained there very well. Look under Examples
