I've included a robots.txt file on a site for the first time and wanted to get ye to throw an eye over it to make sure I haven't disallowed anything I shouldn't have or omitted anything that should be disallowed. Also, do you have any suggestions for other user-agents which should be disallowed completely, whether they read robots.txt or not?

Maybe a leecher tool like netvampire, but any decent UA can impersonate others, so the only people you'll keep out with a robots.txt tend to be legitimate traffic!

I did the following for MSNBot because thier hogs (mostly images)...

User-agent: MSNbot
Disallow: /*.jpeg$
Disallow: /*.jpg$
Disallow: /*.gif$
Disallow: /*.png$
Crawl-delay: 120

To keep Google especially from snagging pages with posts actually in them...

Disallow: /forum/post.asp

To avoid possible duplicate content penalties...

Disallow: /forum/pop_printer_friendly.asp
