El Patron Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 do you have a robots.txt file in your root folder? for more information see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots.txt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bettiebee Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) Thank you El Patron I've done that now, so was that the main problem ? Can I just sit back and wait for things to improve now ? Edited September 29, 2013 by bettiebee (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Patron Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Can I just sit back and wait for things to improve now ? There is no rest for the weary. This will not help you increase orders but if a bot honors your robots.txt then you might see a difference. Note: bots do not have to honor robots.txt nor will it stop them. I suggest posting 'review' my site in this part of the forum http://www.prestashop.com/forums/forum/136-test-my-site/ here you should get advice on improving certain parts of your shop to make it more pleasing for your visitors.
