User-agent: Mediapartners-Google Disallow

[Tom1961]

I just noticed each of my sites has the following as the only entry in their robots.txt file.

User-agent: Mediapartners-Google
Disallow:

I don’t remember putting this there. Maybe my host did so.

Bottom line: Is there any advantage to this entry?

As written, that entry does not do anything at all. The disallow has no value. It will not cause any harm.

You can leave it alone or you can remove it.

Actually, I just noticed I posted the same thing in June.

Sorry

Yes, it sounded familiar :)
