    Why do you want to disallow those folders?

    I never robot.txt them and i've had websites with 1m competiting get page 1 first week.

    I'd remove the disallows, should be fine after that.

        Your site looks ok.

        Rebuild your sitemap, what sitemap are you using for joomla?

        Then upload to google webmasters tools again.

        "site:http ://clear-all-debts.com/" copy past that to search in google.com.

        Sorry I had to break url, I have under 15 posts.

    I did a search again on google. Most of your pages are indexed.

    For Joomla I wouldn't use any other SEF plugin other than "HP router" to remove the ID's from articles. Use the simple built Joomla SEF features in global configurations and rewrite your htaccess.txt to .htaccess before you enable.

    To build your joomla sitemap use "Xmap extension."

    Here are the searches I found on google related to your site.

    clear-all-debts com/

    clear-all-debts com/ individual-voluntary-arrangement

    clear-all-debts com/ company-voluntary-arrangement

    clear-all-debts com/ sitemap

    clear-all-debts com/ privacy-policy

    clear-all-debts com/ about-us

    clear-all-debts com/ contact-us

    clear-all-debts com/ terms-a-conditions

    The only url that isn't indexed is "clear-all-debts com /debt-management-plan"

    They are indexed, having them upload onto your webmasters/tools is another thing. Make sure you dump the old tables of your sitemap install. If it is Xmap you are using, simply uninstall the component, then go to phpmyadmin in your cpanel, go to your joomla db and drop the tables it created and left behind. Reinstall it (there is a component and plugin, unzip download and install both) then generate your sitemap.

    Be sure you appoint the sitemap to build on the "mainmenu" which is where your content is and or any other menus you have content in. In the CSS setting check "use XML sitemap display"

    Submit the long XML sitemap link to webmasters/tools
