Hey I have a site that has been working fine with the same robots.txt for years, suddenly on thursday/friday google decided that my robots.txt actually blocks the entire site [according to webmaster tools] Here is my robots.txt So according to webmaster tools my main URL and others are blocked as of 2nd April... I have not changed anything. One thing to note is that google webmaster tools see my site as http://example.com and I redirect to the www. version. But my robots.txt doesnt specify either, neither does it block the main URL - EDIT: I added www.example.com to webmaster tools too, this shows no errors. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks
Hey, thanks for the reply! I contacted google after I got stumped and they said that my site had been removed using the google url removal tool! Shocking to say the least but my site has now returned!

Cheers mate, and yes it is!! Very worrying... I quickly changed all my passwords and crossed my fingers haha
