when I type in my username into google. lukebouman.com one of the things that shows up is this user-agent*disallow. Does anyone know what that is? I am afraid google is punishing me or something. Thanks
Well your site is obviously not punished, what kind of Google account you are talking about? I noticed that they had problems in the last days with analytics (looked like maintenance). Have you done something that could bring you close to be banned?
when i type lukebouman.com directly into the google search that disallow thing shows up. It may be something that my webmaster put in, but I have not been able to get in contact with him. I thought that disallow meant something bad.
It's a robots.txt file command and I have never seen it anywhere else, apart from istruction pages about the robots.txt Well I just had a second look on Google, what happens is, the SERP shows your lukebouman.com/robots.txt on second place after your homepage. Nothing to worry about, it's an indexing bug (usually that page is not shown in the SERPs) that probably will disappear soon, if not it won't harm your site anyway.
Thanks for your feedback...I was worried that I did something wrong since my new site was just launched.
