      Hi guys,

      We have this website http://www.m-health-expo.nl/ but it is not indexed by google. In webmaster tools google says that it can not fetch the site due to the robots.txt but i do not see any faults in it. http://www.m-health-expo.nl/robots.txt

      Do you see something strange, it really bothers me.

        Use fetch as GoogleBot in GWT.

        Provide 2 fetchs one for the robots.txt and one for the root and both fetches submit them to index

          Thanks but GWT tells me that the robots.txt is blocking it from indexing.

            Can you please open this URL?
            https://www.google.com.pk/search?q=site%3Awww.m-health-expo.nl%2Fen&oq=site%3Awww.m-health-expo.nl%2Fen&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i58.990j0j4&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8 kindly remove the robots.txt file for now.Do you see any error in webmaster.Blocking important URL of site something like it.
            Solution already recommended by wissam.Follow it if the results are not positive.Its not fetching files right.Remove robots.txt file and remove the SEO plugin you are using for now.give it a day and update us about results.

            Google takes time to reconsider URL blocked by robots.txt or removed by GW.

              Okey thanks, the site is live for a few weeks now. Maybe it has to do with the fact that http://www.m-health-expo.nl/  has a robots txt and http://www.m-health-expo.nl/en/ has a robots.txt.

              What is really strange is that it is just a default robots.txt.

              But thanks and i will try it.

              Cheers Ruud

                its meaningless to have robots.txt under a folder .. the appropriate location is in the root ... but still it have nothing to do with your current issue... give it a day

                in the meantime go to Crawl > Blocked URLs

                and see what is robots.txt content is saying and when was the last time they update the robots.txt content

                  If the site has only been live for a few weeks-- they may have an old robots.txt file indexed.

                  So... What Wissam said.

                    Thanks Wissem and Mike,

                    GWT gives now a good response, so it works!

                    Cheerz,
