Hello guys,

ohhh... i made an mistake!

For around 5 minutes a wrong robots.txt file was online on my nice PR5 site. i think, i dont need to tell you, what was the content of my wrong robots.txt.

Disallow: ALL - GOODBYE ;-)

Just 5 Minutes online!

I checked the logs.
GoogleBot was there.
And GoogleBot was eating with one GET / the robots.txt - nothing else. ;)

Okay, my question: Is there any way to stop the process of wiping out my site out of the index?

It's 2 hours ago.

Damn!

Google should check twice robots.txt before deleting. Every webmaster can make a temporaly mistake!
