hide adsense ads from robots?

don't want ad text to appear as part of the page for searches

A possibily silly question here: should I prevent robots from seeing the AdSense ads on my site, so the ad text doesn't become part of the search engine's copy of the page?

I've noticed that when I use Yahoo Search for particular search terms, many of the results are pages that happened to have an AdSense ad containing the term, but the term doesn't actually appear in the page body. That seems pretty broken.

Google seems smart enough not to include AdSense ads in its copy of the page for search purposes (I think), but I'm not sure about the others.

How do you all handle this?

No need to worry, since AdSense ads are inside of iframe and bots are not able to crawl this text
