Your current robots.txt file tells Googlebot it’s not allowed to access those pages.

A /? rule will match /?p=222, for example. This isn’t strictly a problem, since you seem to be using static URLs like “/install-external-apps-games-android-smartphones/” rather than “/?p=222”, but apparently Google encountered URLs of the “/?p=222”-kind in your sitemap.xml file. Judging from the current look of your sitemap file, however, it looks like you’ve fixed this by now?

Thanks dear robzilla,
It seems your suggestion worked.
