    Hey guys,

    After 2 weeks, my domain was on top of google rankings and everything. I was even #1 for crazy keywords. After few days, my site is randomly not on any google. I keep thinking google has banned my site which I'm not hoping for. I am looking at my robots.txt and found this.

    User-agent: *
    Disallow:

    Does that mean I made it so it bans every bot? I changed it to...

    User-agent: *
    allow:

    Good idea or no?

    Bad idea. Change it back.
    Read this for reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots_exclusion_standard
    Your site will be back on Google in no time, don't worry. This happens to every and any site out there, has nothing to do with your robots file.

    P.S. use the search function before you make a new post...

    Update your site with unique content and get some backlinks. After a couple of weeks'll see your page in top
