Whee this section about robots.txt sounds not correct to me. the robots.txt documentation says:
"Note also that regular expression are not supported in either the User-agent or Disallow lines. The '*' in the User-agent field is a special value meaning "any robot". Specifically, you cannot have lines like "Disallow: /tmp/*" or "Disallow: *.gif"." --Conficio 17:12, 23 Feb 2007 (UTC)
Merged article on Search Engines and WordPress (in process per WordPress Lessons article signup) in with this one to avoid redundancy. Lorelle 22:26, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Denis 21 July 2005 -- Lorelle, you might want to add a link to my theme on this page, it's search engine optimized by design and the search engine optimizers who are using it for their customers are reporting spectacular results.

Robert 20 April 2006 -- Lorelle, I've written a special post in German. It shows tags, plug-ins and their serious usage for better indexing by search engines. I would be glad about a link to this article (http://blog.suchmaschinen-optimierungen.info/weblog-optimierung-suchmaschinen-wp)
I'd have thought 5-10 articles(max) on SEO would be sufficient, we're still at around 25(give or take) after pruning out dead/duplicative links.
Please stop self-pimping your own SEO articles here, let's just please leave the prominent and most useful ones, and drop the rest.
This is not advertising space.

When i say "here" above i mean the codex page, not the talk page(of course), in case that wasn't clear.

Yeah. It's a complete bind clearing them out as well. We probably need a general codex rule that external links only get to stay if the people putting them up are actually contributing. Or something.

Deleted Disallow: /*?* to prevent QueryString blocking.
Deleted Allow: /* on # Google AdSense block. Why.
Conditions and limitations must be ordered from specific to general, so changed the blocks order. (User-agent: * last).
Folders must have a trailing slash, if not, the robots may search for an archive.
Moved Sitemap statement for readability.
