Google Site Search will be completely shut down by April 1, 2018. So what next, No more Google site search.

What is mean by Robots.txt: robots.txt is set of instructions for blocking the particular pages, folder, images, etc... Also, we can block the particular search engines by using robots.txt. like, Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. Allowing all the search engines and accessing all the files. User-agent: * Disallow: Disallowing all the search engines and not accessible all the files. User-agent: * Disallow: / if we need to exclude all the files except few files, what we could do. we have to use the disallow command for all the files, which need to be excluded. either files can be accessible by the search engines.

But now Google alerted about Pagerank and they have changed their algorithm to clean the spam websites in search results. For avoiding this kind of pagerank manipulation, Google invented "Penguin" Algorithm. Which helpful to prevent, 1. Low quality links 2. Over optimized anchor texts 3. Keywords stuffing Pagerank is dead : Yes finally Google(John Muller) announced  on 06 Oct 2014.
