Robots.txt tab maintenance
April 04, 2006
Today, we'll be performing maintenance on the infrastructure that displays the information for the
robots.txt tab. During this time, you may see a status of "Not found" for your robots.txt file.
This maintenance affects only the display of the information, and will not impact Googlebot's
processing of your file. Googlebot will continue to read and follow your file correctly during
this maintenance period.
We will finish this maintenance as quickly as possible and you should see the correct display of
data on the robots.txt tab later today. Thanks for your patience.
