AdSense & Robots.text Question

[BlueLeaf]

Will a noindex, nofollow meta tag robots.txt prevent the Google AdSense bot from delivering ads?

nope don't think so... it is in my believe that the Adsense bot goes directly to the page... a noindex tag claims that the page can not be 'indexed'! The Adsense bot doesn't indexes anything... it just takes a look at the content of the page... it's all in the word...

ps: not sure of this, maybe someone can confirm or decline...

AdSense says to do this:

How do I grant access to your crawler?

If you would like to grant our crawler access to your pages, you can do so without granting permission to any other bots. Simply add the following two lines of text to the top of your robots.txt file:

User-agent: Mediapartners-Google*
Disallow:

This change will allow our crawler to index the content of your site and provide you with the most relevant Google ads for that content.
