None the less, when I tried my hand at some SEO, some 9 months ago, I noticed that bots were unable to index my site. I eventually got help from a sysadmin friend who found that one of the files had banned anything from spiders.txt from indexing my site. We argued about whether this was a normal function of zen cart and then his fix was to simply empty my spiders.txt file and I foolishly did not note down what file he had found the offending code in. I can't get a hold of him to ask him to take a look and find the file again and I have downloaded all of my site files and searched a few keywords (such as spider) to try finding the code again without any luck. What can I do?
My who's online is bogged down by bots and extremely laggy.
