Disallowing Style Sheet Directory in Robots.txt ?

[JohnC]

I usually disallow directories that do not contain readable pages, which means the directory which holds my style sheets is disallowed. Someone mentioned to me over the weekend that this is not a good idea. Does anyone have any experience with this one way or the other?

I want to remove the disallow if it is going to be harmful in any way.

John, I had a disallow on ours too. Mainly because there are image links in ours and I don't want our logo, etc. in an image search engine because they pull to much of your bandwidth by doing so.

The image search engines hotlink to the graphics and do not index them locally to their own server.

I've since, put the CSS files in their own folder, and just have the diallow on the images folder itself.
