With respect to robots.txt requests, Google states "Redirects will generally be followed until a valid result can be found".
Does this mean that, if I create a 301 redirect for http://www.example.com/robots.txt
to http://www.example.com/myrobots.txt
, Google would parse the content served from http://www.example.com/myrobots.txt
as being valid robots.txt
content? Or does the fact that the result URL is not named robots.txt
make this an invalid result, and therefore will be ignored?
