Having some google SEO issue (newbie)

Permalink
hey everyone -
after slugging out making my own site, I'm now having trouble getting Google to recognize it.

The site is : www.www.magicaluniversefilm.com...

However, I am getting the following error when I google "magical universe film" in Google:

URL restricted by robots.txt

I'm not sure how best to fix this -- tried reading some forums but couldn't get it figured out. thanks in advance

Hi

You have Disallow: / as your first line in your robots.txt file.
You will need to remove this as it is telling Google to ignore your whole site.
It is often done by developers (me included) to stop Google looking at sites they are working on and not ready for the world to see.

wow. i feel stupid. Thanks

do I just do that in the text file robots.txt in my ftp ?
Or is there a command in Concrete5 System to change the "Disallow"

Also - ALL my folders are disallowed. Problem?

User-agent: *
Disallow: /
Disallow: /blocks
Disallow: /concrete
Disallow: /config
Disallow: /controllers
Disallow: /css
Disallow: /elements
Disallow: /helpers
Disallow: /jobs
Disallow: /js
Disallow: /languages
Disallow: /libraries
Disallow: /mail
Disallow: /models
Disallow: /packages
Disallow: /single_pages
Disallow: /themes
Disallow: /tools
Disallow: /updates

Leave those others as they are, just remove Disallow: / using text editor and ftp as you said.
There is no way to do it via concrete5.

I have shared the Doh! moment a few times with this and remember the pain.

Google will take a week or two to sort it out again so don't expect a quick fix.

Hope that helps :)
