   Hi guys,

   I was wondering what your thoughts are about blocking search engines from indexing these three wordpress directories. Would it help, harm or not effect search engine ranking?

   I figure it can't hurt since the actual site content is inside the database, but what do you guys think?

   Won't affect search rank, and will keep your sensitive directories from being easily discovered by hackers. I block all these on multiple WP sites.

   User-agent: *
   Allow: /
   Disallow: /*?s=
   Disallow: /wp-admin/*
   Disallow: /wp-content/*
   Disallow: /wp-includes/*
   Disallow: /wp-content/cache
   Disallow: /wp-content/themes/*
   Disallow: /trackback
   Disallow: /comments
   Disallow: /category/
   Disallow: */trackback
   Disallow: */comments
