I block google from
I block google from accessing pages on my site such as "about us" etc. It doesn't really help me in any way for those pages to get indexed.
Also, some webmasters who post duplicate content can also benefit from not allowing googlebot to index their page. You can have thousands of pages on your site with dup content but place adsense on them. So when people get on your site through pages that are indexed, they can access the other pages with dup content on them.
Good for test sites.
Its very wise to block google and other/or all search engines from crawling your 'test' site to avoid duplicate contents which may hurt your search engine rankings.
Using robots.txt helps fine tune sections on your website which may not be of interest to readers and also helps on the bandwidth.
For a test site, use the following inside robots.txt file and place them inside your home directory:-
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
Then go to any free online sitemap generator such as xml-sitemaps.com and generate a sitemap for your site. Check and see if it works. The sitemap should not return any links from your site.

There are lots of reasons a site owner might want to keep a search engine out of part of his site. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Disabling Google and Other Search Engines From Crawling a Site
I also don`t understand why would someone want Google not to index his web site, when google is one of the best source of traffic.
crwaling of a site
is it possible to crwal a spider from a specific search engine like google only??
Robots.txt
Robots.txt is the preferred way of disabling search engines from crawling a site. But for blogs where most of the times access to root directory is not provided the job becomes tedious. it is especiallly true if you have to hide some of your pages and show others.

Great topic
I was a bit cofused on the topic (I am still cofused a bit). why on the earth a webmaster will choose not to crawl his pages when google is one of the best source of traffic.I read somewhere that if you have many forms of same content (such as html form and orint form) then you apply it but applying robots.txt to whole of the site is absurd i thin.

What legal right does Google have to crawl my website?
Hi,
While most discussion on the web is about how to get a website IN to Google, I recently had a client who did NOT want to be listed in Google (for whatever reason!).
So, he asked me, "Does Google have the legal right to crawl my website and list information in its search engine?"
My response was to tell him that once a website is created online it becomes part of the public domain and therefore search engines are entitled to (and do) visit the site with their crawlers, spiders, robots, etc.
Is this the correct legal answer?
Tony
