WOW, this one's fascinating ... Glad you let the topic through, because it doesn't make a ton of sense since it's 'completely generic' and not even close to what I'd normally expect the topic of a deindexed site to be if it's topic related.

If that's the robots.txt I'm not seeing anything wrong with it.
You aren't running any noindex or nofollow headers or metas are you?

And, welcome to WebmasterWorld! Sorry about the reason behind your joining us here ... Hopefully we'll find an answer for you somewhere and you'll hang around for cooler reasons.

Actually, noindex or nofollow makes no sense and it really can't be the robots.txt based on the e-mail ... Sorry ... It's in violation of the guidelines somewhere, not 'self removed' so robots.txt shouldn't matter, and it looks fine, because GBot will follow the most specific line and it allows access.

I read about the violation earlier when I first looked at the thread and figured it was one of those 'no brainer, quit selling v*gra and you'll get back in' answers (lol), but I forgot that when I initially posted, so totally disregard my question, but not the welcome and I'll come back to this later if I have a more constructive question or something.

And, it's later ... Are you selling ads at all?
