Schoolboy error!
-
We ( I) blocked google by accident! using a robots text that had been on our test site...
To correct this I:
1 - created and uploaded a new sitemap and submitted
2 - fixed my robots text: http://www.camperbug.co.uk/robots.txt
The problem is, I try to fetch as googlebot in WMT but it says: Denied by robots.txt despite the fact it's fixed!
Does anyone have any ideas as to when google will reindex by robots text as WMT says I have critical health issues and i don't want keyword deindexing. Thanks!

Has the new index been crawled? It usually takes about a day fr google to update your new sitemap. When did you resubmit your sitemap?
-
Sounds to me like you just need to wait until Google crawls your website again.
-
Just did it today but the critical error in WMT is scary. Hopefully I don't get de-indexed as a result!

You site can be crawl. Like everyone said, just wait for big G.
I did noticed a few 404 errors on your site. I have them on a cvs file. Here's the link

Just give it 24hrs, you should be good by same time tomorrow. As you said, you have already submitted the XML sitemap and also updated the robots.txt and that should be it.

Should take a day or so. Everyone who has done enough sites has made a mistakes like this (believe it or not, Google is eventually forgiving on most things). The tough part is waiting...
