over the last few months since the update, my page ranking has dropped to near 0, I have had the page tested and this is what they found:
Meta Tag Analyzer - Results

Now analyzing: Open Window to Visithttp://showreens.com

Notice! We found 6 issues with the robots.txt file located at Open Window to Visithttp://showreens.com/robots.txt that did not comply with the current "Robots Exclusion Standard" and may cause problems with some search engines. Because of this we highly recommend you verify the robots.txt file before submitting to search engines.

Can you please have a look at this,

What were those 6 issues? 

Update has nothing to do with the robots.txt file as it is the same as in the previous version.
