I have a website that uses an XML
sitemap and a robots.txt
file.
If I do a Google search of:
site: mywebsite.co.uk "sitemap"
I see the usual Google response, similar to the following image, but the title has been automatically generated by the search engine. Unfortunately, the title isn't applicable for the website.
I don't think there is a way of influencing this title since this is an XML
file rather than a HTML
file?
If I add Disallow: /sitemap/
to Robots.txt
will this only have the effect of hiding the sitemap in the search results, or will it have the side effect of stopping it from working at all?
/sitemap/
is the same as/sitemap.xml
or something else? – Andrew Lott Feb 4 '16 at 11:04
