Is basically disallowing everything for all bots.
Code:

User-Agent: MediaPartners-Google
Disallow:


Is a mistake is you are using AdSense, and is useless if not (the media partner bots does not really crawl unless you run adds).

Disallows with wild-cards are not really reliable.

According to what I see you tried to do, I'd only keep :


Code:
User-agent: *
Crawl-delay: 15

and then, as you're talking about a forum, it depends on you urls standard, if it's phpBB and running a phpBB SEO mod rewrite, then, you should just add the disallow advised in the release thread, if not, you'd still need to add some disallow to prevent duplicates.

I dont know about this as 3 bots already allowed above it, so far I've seen in Show Bots mod and View Online IP Address, the 3 bots is still crawling and everyday the numbers of list is increasing.

I will remove it Wink

I want to test it and see what happens, hopefully they are working.

Review my robots.txtPosted: Sun Feb 11, 2007 1:07 pm    Post subject: Re: Review my robots.txt

Well, it's a bit different to see bots on your forum, than having them actually cache pages.

As it's phpbb, my advice is in your case :

Code:
User-agent: *
Crawl-delay: 15

Disallow: /viewtopic.php
Disallow: /viewforum.php
Disallow: /index.php?
Disallow: /posting.php
Disallow: /groupcp.php
Disallow: /search.php
Disallow: /login.php
Disallow: /privmsg.php
Disallow: /post
Disallow: /member
Disallow: /profile.php
Disallow: /memberlist.php
Disallow: /faq.php

Yes the robots.txt is correct, but you should install the zero duplicate, would get rid of all SID duplicate in SE's listing Wink
