thank you LAN...

on this site i use the
ErrorDocument /

to redirect every file that didn't exists to the root. so if google requested the robot.txt file it gets the main page.

the same page is in a pr6 dmoz-category with domain.com in the anchortext and has lot of quality links.

it droped from the top 10 on the top 30 in ranking on all keywords. the pagerank remains. even if i type domain.com alone or with other keywords the site gets a start=20 ranking with 30 pages above me that link to mine. :(

was this causing the drop and how long will it remain when i add a robot.txt file ?
