My site, fakekiwi.com apparently is blocking everything on google and I was wondering what was going on...so I searched the internet and found a thread on here actually...well I did what that dude did but I am still having the problems. This is what Webmaster Tools is telling me: "URL restricted by robots.txt We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit." fakekiwi.com/sitemap.xml works when i go to it...so im confused.
I am just not seeing the robots.txt...could it be hidden? Fakekiwi.com is where I am lookign for it...so I am looking in the root folder of that website. I have several websites hosted on one server
I don't know how you are looking at your directory, but it might be hidden depending on your host or ftp program. It's located where your sitemap is. You can see it here: Fakekiwi.com/robots.txt
I have tried to see Hidden files...whenever I connect via windows explorer it shuts windows explorer down...so I use FLASHFXP and put that I would like to see hidden files...and its still not there...What do you think? Should I create one and just rewrite it?
If you have cpanel, just use file manager to view the files. Overwriting the existing robots.txt file is fine.
I am in cpanel and its seriously not there: I took a screen shot http://fakekiwi.com/images/filemanagerscreenshot.jpg
I guess what I will do is just overwrite the previous file or something...what should it look like? User-agent: * Thats it?
yeah "You can see it here: Fakekiwi.com/robots.txt ". you would open google webmaster tool, there is a setting for this.
