Hi everyone and happy new year

Trying to work out my sites problems myself but I'm no programmer. So i recently signed up to a free months trial with RAVEN SEO TOOLS and its very complicated but working through it bit by bit.

This tool says i have 1500 urls blocked by my robot text, a lot 900 from this link

But when i go into webmaster tools i get 0 urls blocked but not sure its that simple. So my question is should i worry about this and make changes to robot text file, it currently looks like this.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /*&limit
Disallow: /*?sort
Disallow: /*&sort
Disallow: /*?route=checkout/
Disallow: /*?route=account/
Disallow: /*?route=product/search
Disallow: /*?page=1
Disallow: /*&create=1
Disallow: /?route=information/contact
Disallow: /?route=information/information&information_id=6
Disallow: /*?route=affiliate/
Disallow: /*?keyword
Disallow: /*?av
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /system/
Disallow: /catalog/

THanks so much for any advice you have.

When does webmaster tools say the file was last downloaded?

not sure exactly what you mean, sorry. This is what google says in webmaster

Blocked URLs

robots.txt file Blocked URLs Downloaded Status
http://www.gigglemonsters.co.uk/robots.txt 0 Jan 3, 2014 200 (Success)

This is what the SEO tool says

1,414 pages were blocked by robots.txt

There's a spot right below that information that shows the contents of the robots.txt file that they downloaded. I'm not sure why you're blocking your catalog folder either.

HI DL

Its the same as above. I can remove the catalog disallow if you think so, i thought that was weird.

Apologies this was all done by someone else originally, but trying to learn as need to improve rankings.

Just know that this alone isn't going to give you a huge boost in any ranking.
