Hi @theoldandgrey6. Question. Is your site a Square/Weebly hosted site? If so, then this whole disallowing NerdyBoy (which is an AI bot crawler) is new to me. I didn’t know Square was doing that yet, though I’m happy that they are, if so.
A quick perusal of StackOverflow.com tells me that sometimes Google’s bots can decide to ignore a site completely when they see a disallow directive in the robots.txt file. So, if you are able to edit that txt file (and Square isn’t doing this for you), edit it and add the following line at the end:
User-agent: Googlebot Allow: /
No one seems to know what is up with Google here, but this seems to work for most folks.
Also, keep in mind that it can take Google many days, and even weeks, for its bots to find new sites. So patience is about all you have on your side while you wait for this to happen.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
