• If I use these parameters in my robots file, do you see it creating any problems for Google to craw my blog? The reason why I’m doing this is Google has mentioned several times they may put an emphasis on how you rank in organic results on how fast your site loads and these areas of my blog seem not to be that fast loading, according to webmaster tools…

    Disallow: /blog/wp-admin/
    Disallow: /blog/wp-content/
    Disallow: /blog/wp-includes/

    Thanks

    # disallow archiving site
    User-agent: ia_archiver
    Disallow: /

    # disable duggmirror
    User-agent: duggmirror
    Disallow: /

    It shouldn’t prevent google from crawling your website and should not affect your ranking. using these commands you mentioned:

    Disallow: /blog/wp-admin/
    Disallow: /blog/wp-content/
    Disallow: /blog/wp-includes/

    you are simply disabling a login-based webpages that google cann’t crawl in the first place, so if anything you are doing them a favor.
