I want suggestion for the below robots.txt code: ===================================================
User-agent: *
Disallow: /business/ # business directory
Disallow: /admin/ ? ? # admin directory
Disallow: /search/ ? # search page
Disallow: /stats/ ? # stats directory
===================================================
The syntax above is being displayed in Google Webmasters Tool "Crawler Access" section. But when look at the robots.txt at the root of my website then the code is being displayed as below:
===================================================
User-agent: *
Disallow: /business/ # business directory
Disallow: /admin/ # admin directory
Disallow: /search/ # search page
Disallow: /stats/ # stats directory
===================================================
So I want to know that:
1) why both syntax are different as Webmaster Tool Accesses the same lines which are contained in robots.txt text file.
2) What is the significance and effect of ? character after /business/ ?, /admin/ ?
Waiting for replies...............
