Does anybody have experience with this:

I have 2 fairly new domains, that i can see is visited by Google Bots, but when I search Google to see if they are indexed, I only get the domain name, no describtion or titel or anything.

This is wordpress blogs, as an addon domain on hostgator baby crock hosting. I have all-in-one SEO plugin and Google XML Sitemaps.

I also have trouble claiming my blog at technorati. I get this message:
Nov 26, 2009. Our access is explicitly blocked by your robots.txt file. Please grant access to TechnoratiBot. For more information about Robots.txt, please see http://technorati.com/robots-faq/

My domains are:
www. aggressivedogbehaviors .com
www. trifilliatereview .com

Google XML Sitemaps do create a virtual robots.txt, is this the problem?
Or is my site sandboxed? Or....

I really could use some help here

    This is in the head of your code and is a problem:
    <meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' />

    If it's the sitemap plugin then there should be some setting to stop this.

    It looks like that fixed it. You should start seeing some results now.

    Hi Maryleena,

    Check the Privacy setting under your Wordpress Settings menu. I think you will find that the "Blog Visibility" is set to block search engines. Change this setting to "I would like my blog to be visible to everyone" and that should fix the issue.
