GoDaddy SEO

When I purchased my domain I paid extra for an SEO package from GoDaddy. However SmugMug seems to block the Bots that GoDaddy use meaning that my site scores a Zero.

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Is there an option somewhere to set the Robots.txt file?

Cheers

Steve

    Hi Steve and welcome to Dgrin! wave.gif

    I've seen reports of others that bought the SEO tool from GoDaddy and it seemed to have (somewhat) worked for them. Maybe GoDaddy made a recent change?
    The little I heard about the tool, wasn't positive as it wasn't able to read our robots.txt file properly. The tool had reported that no search engines are allowed even though that was clearly not the case.

    And you don't really need such a tool with SmugMug. If you don't want to use the tool for other web sites as well, I'd recommend against using it. Maybe you could still receive a refund on it?

    For SmugMug, you can find SEO suggestions here. Following the suggestions there should be all you need to do.
