Heh, I find it comparatively funny that your site's guidelines forbid the
use of emoticons. :)
Anyhoo, I wonder whether your problem is that accessing your site's
robots.txt, it forwards to some parked site instead of showing a blank text
file. Try setting a blank robots.txt and see how that works out.
Also FYI: any <a> tag with rel="nofollow" is not followed by search engines.
All the links in your sidebar menu seem to have rel="nofollow". However, all
the pages linked in your ListOfCompletedPages should still be accessible by
google.
