      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)
