 * Thanks Esmi,
 * Will I have lost all of the pages and posts too?
 * Sorry if that sounds a bit simplistic.

 * Google state:
 * (You need a robots.txt file only if your site includes content that you don’t
   want search engines to index. If you want search engines to index everything 
   in your site, you don’t need a robots.txt file—not even an empty one. If you 
   don’t have a robots.txt file, your server will return a 404 when Googlebot requests
   it, and we will continue to crawl your site. No problem.)
 * Would I be better off removing the robots.txt?
 * Then again if there is a hack it may be that the file will keep be regenerated.

 * Thanks Esmi.
 * Would I simply edit to read:
 * User-agent: *
    Crawl-delay: 20
 * User-agent: 008
 * Just taking out the “disallow”?

 * Thanks Esmi, could the robot.txt file be a result of the hack?

 * Thanks Joost.
 * Our website was hacked a few months ago and took 2 weeks to rebuild including
   the Blog with 507 posts.
 * I am going back using Worpress SEO by yourseld one by one for each post. But 
   afetr I have added “Focus Keyword”, SEO Title” and “Meta Description” afetr I
   click update and then return to the post and look at those fields they are appearing
   as blank again.
 * Should this be happening? I have just upgraded to the latest plugin version.
 * Thanks, Colin
