    Did anyone else get this email from Google Today? If so what is resolution? Thanks.


    Hello,

    Thank you for participating in Google Product Search. It has come to our attention that a robots.txt file is preventing us from crawling some or all of the images on your site. In order for us to access and display the images you provide in your product listings, we'd like you to modify your robots.txt file to allow user-agent 'googlebot' to crawl your site.
    Failure for Google to access your images may affect the visibility of your items on Google Product Search and Product Ad results.

    To ensure the 'googlebot' is not being blocked, please add the following two lines of text to the end of your robots.txt file:

    User-agent: googlebot
    Disallow:

    For more information on robots.txt files, please visit http://www.robotstxt.org. If you have any questions, please contact your webmaster directly.

    Sincerely,

    The Google Product Search Team

    So what doesn't make sense? The URL takes you to all the info you need.

    Edit your robots.txt file and ftp it up to your site.

    Using MS 9.2.0.0 with the following customisations:

    Lightbox/Fancybox enlarged images;
    Auto-suggest searchbox;
    Extra product information shown only to our IP Address (such as supplier info, costs, etc.);
    Failed transactions emailed via trigger;
    Custom app to show basket contents when customer online;
    Orders pushed through to accounting systems.

    All the above without source!
