robots.txt file blocked Google and other from Crawling Site

For those of you website owners that have made a terrible mistake with your website and accidentally blocked search engines, specifically google from crawling your site.  I am here to tell you that it won’t take months to get it back!!!

My business, Jenny’s Bead Factory went from a 3 ranking down to zero over a span of 1 year.  I mistakenly put a robots.txt file onto the root of the server that BLOCKED ALL SEARCH ENGINES.  How terrifying to realize my stupid error.  Researching it online let to more worry because all information I came across said it could take months and months to recover.  It took exactly 3 weeks to get back to a 2 rank.  YAY!

So if the traffic to your site is stable, don’t worry, your ranking will bounce back in no time!
