   txt file for that website, but Somehow the robots.txt file is been catched with
   that website.

   is no robots.txt file on that URl. Due to this error, i am not able to get SEO
   ranking for this website Can any one help me out to resolve this problem?

 * check out with yoursiteurl/robots.txt. if you see the robots page you can modify
   it. if you don’t have one you can create one and upload it on root directory!!

 * It is a virtual robot.txt file which is automatically generated when you have
   installed wordpress.It is difiicult to edit that file.
