Collection not indexed on google

[Michael_Ionia]

Hello friends ,
I read in the forum that the collections don't indexed by google , because Shopify robots txt block it , is it true ?
Three days ago I added my sitemap to Google Webmaster and so far it's only two pages : home page and search page.

How do you index the pages with your collections on Google?

Can someone tell me a little about it? I do not understand much about it.

Anyone know about this?

Why robots txt block collections?

That mean Google can't index collections ?

My site is animezwear.com. 

Just check it site:https://animezwear.com

Hey Michael,

I have checked your website's collections. And found out they were crawled on google.

As for your query regarding the disallow & "+", plz follow this trail: https://ecommerce.shopify.com/c/ecommerce-marketing/t/am-highly-upset-shopify-s-design-does-not-allo...

Shopify does NOT block collections from being crawled. Whatever you read is wrong, or mis-interpreted.

Robots.txt is a suggestion to Google which it often obeys, not always obeys.  Shopify discourages Google crawling collections that contain "+" symbols in them, which often happens with multiple tags or collections that act like filters. The Power Tools suite is one app that does this well.

Just tried again - looks like robot.txt file has been updated. Might have been a temporary issue?
