Awesome Robots Txt Page

Rishi Lakhani posted on Twitter a link to an awesome robots.txt file he wrote at fastfwd.com/robots.txt which says "DEAR GOOGLE, SINCE THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU COME TO ME, LET ME TALK TO YOU."

It goes on to tell Google a long long story about how he studied hard in school, got in to some trouble, how he discovered computers and the internet, how Google gave him a career saying "#ACTUALLY WORKING AS AN SEO GIVES ME THE CHANCE TO MAKE SOME REAL MONEY!"

He then goes on to complain about the algorithm changes, which stress him out. Adding he feels "#NOW IT FEELS LIKE SEO IS LIKE RUSSIAN ROULETTE."

It was signed by RISHI LAKHANI.

Go check out the robots file, it is pretty funny.

Hope it lightens up some of your days.
