In robots.txt can I write the following relative URL for the sitemap file?
sitemap: /sitemap.ashx
Or do I have to use the complete (absolute) URL for the sitemap file, like:
sitemap: http://subdomain.domain.com/sitemap.ashx
Why I wonder:
- I own a new blog service, www.domain.com, that allow users to blog on accountname.domain.com.
- I use wildcards, so all subdomains (accounts) point to: “blog.domain.com”.
In blog.domain.com I put the robots.txt to let search engines find the sitemap.
But, due to the wildcards, all user account share the same robots.txt file.Thats why I can’t use the second alternative. And for now I can’t use url rewrite for txt files. (I guess that later versions of IIS can handle this?)
