▫ Priority range (Optional): 0.0 to 1.0 (1.0 = important and 0.5 = default ).
▫ Change frequency (Optional): ( always, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly ).
• No guarantee the bots will use the information. When they do use the values, it can

Work done – XML Sitemap Cont.
• Can specify which pages are not indexed using the robots.txt
file. • Example:
User-agent: *Crawl-delay: 10# DirectoriesDisallow: /includes/Disallow: /misc/Disallow: /modules/Disallow: /profiles/
Example Means: All robots can only access the same server every 10 seconds on a
successful request and do not crawl the four directories.
• Disadvantage: No guarantee web robot will not index a page if it does not follow the robot.txt file standard. ▫ Example: malicious robot
