My robots.txt has been respected by every bot that visited it in the past three months. I know this because i wrote a page that IP bans anything that visits it, and l also put it as a not allowed spot in the robots.txt file.

I’ve only gotten like, 20 visits in the past three months though, so, very small sample size.

only if you don’t want any visits except from yourself, because this removes your site from any search engine

should write a “disallow: /juicy-content” and then block anything that tries to access that page (only bad bots would follow that path)

That’s exactly what was described…?

You need to read again the thing that was described, more carefully. Imagine for example that by “a page,” the person means a page called /juicy-content or something.

Interesting way of testing this. Another would be to search the search machines with adding site:your.domain (Edit: Typo corrected. Off course without - at -site:, otherwise you will exclude it, not limit to.) to show results from your site only. Not an exhaustive check, but another tool to test this behavior.
