Yeah, and that section also talks about testing your web site with the lynx browser.

SEO1, have you seen a high number of sites without a robots.txt file that have been banned on July 28th? I didn't think so.

This thread has deteriorated into a lot of speculation about issues that have shown no real relationship to the July 28th massacre.

I've been watching about 30 sites that are going through this ordeal. Some from WW members and some not. The issues that they seem to have in common have very little to do with what is being discussed in this thread.

The fact is that there are well known "signals of quality" factors that are being ignored while we are stuck here talking about missing robots.txt files and shared IP's.
