msg:4005377 | 1:05 am on Oct 12, 2009 (gmt 0) | I have a blank robots.txt file, and I was wondering what I need to put in there to allow all bots and spiders to crawl around on all the pages, or should I just leave it how it is, blank? In my meta tags I have the line: <META name="robots" content="index,follow"> but I also want to make sure in the robots.txt file that I allow them to crawl around. Thanks for your help.

The bots will see this as "no restrictions" A lot of people place a blank robots.txt file to eliminate 404 issues when bots request the non existant file. Mack.
