How do I find/fix a robot.txt file on blogger.com?

All was well with my blog for several weeks, getting 400-600 hits per day and growing. All of a sudden 2 days ago, all traffic stopped. Down to 50-60 per day. Checked Google optimization, said the site was not crawled due to robot.txt file?


Help, I'm using Blogger.com.

How do I find/fix a robot.txt file on blogger.com?
robots.txt is a file that tells web crawlers what directories and files to not index in a search.


There is no way, unless you own the site, to change the file.
Reply:You can't fix blogger blog robot.txt, because blogger is free blog hosting service.





You can do it only on your own hosting account.





The reason of your traffic stop is the 'Google sandbox' - Google stop to bring traffic to your blog, this is often happens with new (young) blogs, don't worry about that, it's not for long.
