Have you modified your robots.txt at all? Or perhaps it is just a server problem - there are a lot of connection issues with regards to getting bots to crawl, and just because one bot is able to crawl your sit doesn't mean all bots can. A lot of info out there, e.g. this link

Google has an info gadget that displays crawl errors, which might help show better where the problem lies than a generic error message:

Webmaster Tools Gadgets for iGoogle.

Here's the simple process to start using these Gadgets right away. (Note: this assumes you've already got a Webmaster Tools account and have verified at least one site.)

1. Visit Webmaster Tools and select any site that you've validated from the dashboard.
2. Click on the Tools section.
3. Click on Gadgets sub-section.
4. Click on the big "Add an iGoogle Webmaster Tools homepage" button.
5. Click the "Add to Google" button on the following confirm page to add the new tab to iGoogle.
6. Now you're in iGoogle, where you should see your new Google Webmaster Tools tab with a number of Gadgets. Enjoy!

You'll notice that each Gadget has a drop down menu at the top which lets you select from all the sites you have validated to see that Gadget's information for the particular site you select. A few of the Gadgets that we're currently offering are:

Crawl errors - Use this to see if Googlebot encounters issues when crawling your site...

i think it is a server problem because they are saying




anyway this is very strange, i never saw that thing till now.

Yes, theres a number of reasons why this can occur... but a possible one: Your host might have blocked googlebot to reduce server load!

Check your raw access logs, and see if googlebot tries to access your site - if it gets a 403 forbidden, you'll know for sure your host has blocked it. More info:

i looked in raw acces log and there is only this whith the code 304

Http Code: 304      Date: Mar 18 05:26:44      Http Version: HTTP/1.1      Size in Bytes: -

so, the google bot is not comming in my site. this still the problem.

it is possible that i modified something in the ACP?
when i try to look in the http refferes there is an empty table, the same as in the google bot


it can be something that bloks his acces in my site?


ok google is back in my site but when i submited the site map in the webmasters tools it has some errors.
what can i do? the sitemap has any problems? anybody can't answer me?

Perhaps try the Webmaster Tools Gadgets for iGoogle I refer to earlier.

It is still possible your host has blocked googlebot since it is aggressive. The block maybe be higher up, so that it doesn't generate n error 403 in your raw access logs. Are you getting trawled by MSN livebot? That is also aggressive... so would be interesting for you to see if that is also blocked. If you are on a budget / free shared server, a host will do this to reduce server load, as aggressive bots like googlebot crawl every single link, accessing a lot of files and folders, stealing CPU (I used to have complaints from my host on a relatively well-paid account package that my site was demanding too much CPU, and the culprit was googlebot. Unless you have specifically modified your robots.txt, there should be no reason for googlebot not to spider - nothing in Icy prevents it. Besides robots.txt it is also possible to prevent a bot in the .htaccess access file (which you do with a line like deny from googlebot.com google.com google-analytics.com) - I doubt though you would have done that. Bottom line: Ask your host / search their support forums.
