Well, I hope this will help my results. I installed a robots.txt file on my server.

If I understand correctly, the idea is to limit SE robots counting irrelevant material in order to get a better keyword to content ratio. And this should help the relevancy of my pages...right?

I copied and pasted the contents of my robots.txt from a post in the forums here.

If you have been following my blog (thank you, fans), you know I am new to vBSEO and while not completely a newbie, I have a long way to go in getting smart in SEO. I think it would be great if there were a "Top x number of things to do" post or file or FAQ on vBSEO on what you should do. I am saying this as a new customer, while I have faith that the product will help me, and I may reap great benefits from just install and forget, I have also noted some posters with disappointing results. My best guess is that there are three variables (probably more that I am not thinking of): vBSEO product, webpage itself, and Google algorithm. It seems to me that a better guide on what to do may help maximize the vBSEO and help users control/optimize their website, taking control of two of the variables.

Okay, if I am missing the guidebook/manual/faq, someone please tell me. Until then, I will continue to learn by going through the posts.

As far as results? drumroll...I am seeing more bots on the site, and one of my main keywords, "Physical Evaluation Board," has moved up from five to four position on yahoo. I suspect that this is the sitemap generator and not the main plug in. But any improvement is good, right?
