my blog was suddenly disappeared in Google cache!

I didn't do anything wrong, no black hats, gray hats whatsoever. Hidden text, links etc
but there was something wrong when I logged in to the webmaster central tools.€

A lots of http 4xx errors.
I did speak with others SEO guy and he suggested me it was the sitemap issues?

I am not sure about that as it was a wordpress blog and I am using the Google sitemap XML plugins to generate the sitemap. It did not have any problems in the past until recently.
Anyway here is a screen shot of that site from my webmaster central accounts:

the links are there is you type in on the browser location bar NOT missing or whatsoever.

Does any of the SEO experts know what happen?

Thanks

Proson

  If your server has been offline recently, this can cause this, it happened to one of my sites a few weeks ago. Also check that you are not blocking bots in the robots.txt file.
  
  Google Webmaster Tools is not instant, it can take 2-3 weeks to show an update so there's a good chance it is out of date. If your pages are actually there then give it a week or two and check Google Webmaster Tools again.
  
  Thanks

Agreed. There is a lag with GA Webmaster Tools. Check your robots.txt. Even if your server hasn't been down, Googlebot may not be able to reach a page (due to network congestion, sinus congestion or any other sort of Google foo). So, be patient and check Webmaster Tools daily.

You may want to check your code, you definitely have a problem with your website.

- 101 Errors, 15 warning(s) found while checking this document as XHTML 1.0 Transitional!

- W3C CSS Validator results for your website found 9 errors.

After reviewing the source code, I found that at the bottom of your site you have a <div> tag within a <span> tag

It seems that this is preventing your <html> and <body> tag from closing properly.

Also right above:  You use all capital letters for SRC

Another problem that I have noticed while evaluating your website is: One of the links on your navigation bar seems identified as a Broken Link on every page.

I am not sure why, but he About (link) seems to have a problem with the way it is linked as well. (it seems to be the only link that keeps showing up as broken on every page of your blog.

I am not sure if these are the main sources of your problem, but you may want to look into this.

If you have any further questions, problems, or concerns, please let me know.

@brett　I am not sure why you said the about was a broken link but I do think
there was an outage of the blog that preventing accessing from the Google bot.

@Devilfish. yes I do have some sub-directories that don't want to be indexed nor follow since they are free give away PDFs that require sign up and also I have some affiliate cloaking scripts that don't want search engine to index anyway as I am not sure if those will be accused of using black hat "SEO" techniques.

thanks for your response so far.
