    My site seems to just no longer exist in MSN searches although my favicon link shows up and a link from sitepoint's forums.
    The site is caswell chat.co .uk
    Any help would be welcomed very much.  http://www.caswellchat.co.uk/index.shtml

    Everything was fine a few months ago if that is any help.

    It was in the index? Have you done any major architecture changes/URL redirects/ backend changes?

    Thx Brett for making contact.
    It was never indexed but was ranking top end of the MSN searches.
    It was updated with a few new pages in feb/march 09 but nothing more than that.
    There was no: "Have you done any major architecture changes/URL redirects/ backend changes?"
    I did update the robots.txt to accomodate the changes/updates. That's it. I think it must be the robots.txt
    but I cannot understand why it is not working now.  Thx in anticipation (funny enough today I got more
    articles from the clinic patient mag so it is due another update).
