Yahoo robot

[sparkiem]

Hey everyone,
The yahoo robot comes to my site looks at my robots.txt file then leaves my site. Can anyone give me some advice on this. My site was # 3 on the first page of Yahoo search for the term grandfather clocks, now it is nowhere to be found on Yahoo for this same term. This happened about a month ago. My robots.txt file is below, I do not see anything wrong with it.

Brian.

Thanks Brian for having a look,
I am not sure exactly how many page I have. But the pages indexed at Yahoo do not show any changes to them such as my home page title has been changed, since I know longer have curio clocks. If you notice the page indexed at Yahoo still has my title as Grandfather clocks curio clocks westminster chimes. A lot of the other pages in the list are pages that no longer exist.
My site went from # 3 to gone over night. That just does not make any sense to me. When I check my statistics it shows Yahoo slurp checking my robots.txt file and nothing else.

Again thanks for having a look.

Wait for the non existing pages to cycle out. Keep submitting the new ones frequently.
