My wordpress site's robots.txt used to be this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: Sitemap: http://www.domainame.com/sitemap.xml.gz I also have all in one SEO installed and other than posts, tags are also index,follow on my site.
My new posts used to appear on google in seconds after publishing. I changed the robots.txt to following and now post indexing takes hours.
Is there something wrong with this robots.txt? User-agent: *
