Is the following syntax in my robots.txt file, blocking all crawlers from indexing my site?

Question

This is currently in my robots.txt file:

User-agent: * # Disallow everyone else Disallow: /

Question-to me, the novice here, it looks like the "Disallow: /" will prevent Google/MSN/etc from indexing my site. Correct?

Answer 1

The correct syntax of the robots.txt file for your purpose seems to be as follows:

User-agent: * Disallow: /
