    This makes no sense to me at all..
    How do you know you were banned due to your robots.txt file? what exactly did your banation-letter say?

    you can delete robot.txt
    Maybe robot.txt writing block robot crawl by web hosting company.

    I think i need to delete all of my 3 blogs and build some new ones. Because if adsense is blocking my blogs then perhaps they might also ban me. I think it is the best solution. So what u say should i delete my 3 blogs

    i was not banned .3 of my blogs have been blocked by google
    crawler.Adsense say that your robots.txt file does not allows our crawlers to crawl on your site. I am using blogger so how blogger can block google crawler and even if blogger has blocked googles crawler than what can i do to fix it. Because i donot think that i can edit the robots,txt file in blogger

    Your post title says BANNED. Your blogs have NOT been blocked by google, it's the other way around. Your blogs (in the form of the associated robots.txt) are the ones that are blocking google. What does the robots.txt contain? Disallow: * ?

    yah.. that is strange since he's using Blogger and does not have access to ROBOTS.TXT. if that message does not go away, you might have to send an email to Adsense Support and ask them what to do..

    You could have made the point clearer in your opening post.
