Googlebot can't access your site

Hi, not sure what could be wrong, I have 3 WP blogs for the same domain which are:

http://www.allxpats.com/
http://www.allxpats.com/dubai/
http://www.allxpats.com/capetown/

I have not changed anything in the last few days, the only thing I have been doing is adding new posts.

I use the plugin Google Sitemap Generator, I have a robots.txt in my FTP files and Google sent me the same message again today saying it cannot access my account. I dont think I have a visual site map and think it is “Virtual” from reading other forum posts.

Yesterday Google told me it could not access my

http://www.allxpats.com/
http://www.allxpats.com/capetown/

Today it says:
http://www.allxpats.com/dubai/

All these urls are on different WP accounts, so am a bit confused for what it could be.

Thanks, any help much appreciated!

Can you post your robots.txt? For all three sites please.

Sorry,I mean I don’t think I have a visual robots.txt but a “Virtual” one.

Thanks again.

When opening the one in my FTP, its just a url
sitemap: http://cdn.attracta.com/sitemap/1276489.xml.gz

Set them up as proper .txt files and see what happens. Google might need a day or two to update them.

Do I need to edit the one in my FTP Robots.txt? If so how would I do that?

Thanks, lol not very technical 🙂

All the three sites do not have any robots.txt files.
These two locations where your robots.txt files are supposed to be show 404 errors:
http://www.allxpats.com/capetown/robots.txt
http://www.allxpats.com/dubai/robots.txt
And your root domain shows Internal Server Error:
http://www.allxpats.com/robots.txt
Here is the simplest text that you can place in a simple txt file (notepad) save and upload at the above locations:
```
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-includes/
```
The above suggestion is based on the assumption that you have three separate installations at the three locations. If not only one will do.
