Go to Settings -> Reading in your site’s Dashboard, and make sure that “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” isn’t checked.

If it it’s already not checked, what is the URL of the site with the problem?

And your robots.txt isn’t blocking anything that should be in your sitemap either: http://www.tercoma.com/robots.txt

It’s only blocking admin URLs.

Can you share maybe 3 of the URLs that Google claims are being blocked?

That URL is in the sitemap, and there’s absolutely nothing in your robots.txt file that would be blocking it.

In this case, I recommend asking over at Google’s forum as to why it thinks it’s being blocked.
