    Hey there..
    one of my client's website is been active for more than 10 years now, but still doing very bad in terms of SEO. Even of you type its name in google it wont appear. But website is not yet blacklisted.

    I think its the robots.txt file. If you guys can review it and tell me if its ok or should I make any changes to make it better.

    No way the site has been active 10 years and isn't indexed. That isn't the robots fault. And even if it is, how could THAT be the enduring factor in the site's failure for 10 years? google on creating a brand new robots, modify your haccess accordingly, add a sitemap, index and send spiders to crawl at the frequency you update content... And tell us the real reason the site isn't up after 10 years, because now I'm interested

    I just got this project. After I analyzed the website i realized that Title, keyword, description was irrelevant to the content, secondly there was no text content it was all images. She only had two blog entries other than Real estate listing.

    It's hard to know what you're trying to disallow in robots.txt without knowing anything about the site itself!
