Say somebody with adsense on a page has a link to your page, the adsense bot might follow it to decide what the original page is about. If this is the case you might want to ban the little fellow. After all, if google ain't payin' you, why should you entertain their robot?

| Which is another good reason to ban the adsense bot. Why should Opera profit from your website via adsense when you aren't? Especially when it comes at your cost (bandwidth and all).
