Putting adsense on SBI site

Janna · #1 (**permalink**) 12-01-2008, 11:29 PM

I posted in the Adsense thread, but also wanted to ask another Adsense question here, because if I am understanding correctly, I have some kind of SBI issue with the google crawler.

this is the message:

If our crawler finds any issues with your pages, they'll be listed in the table below. We encourage you to resolve these issues in order to allow us to crawl more of your pages and provide relevant ads.

Blocked URL:

Reason Blocked:
Robots.txt File

I have no idea what a robots. txt file is. How do I fix this? it tells me I can fix it by granting permission in my robots.txt file. I have SBI, so I'm confused as to where to find this file?

thanks!

I'm not sure either. Have you tried contacting SiteSell support or posting a question in the SBI! forums? For some reason it's not reading your SBI! robot.txt file which is basically a file that tells the search engines how to crawl/index your pages.

Google (and other bots) is blocked from accessing that

page, because it's the preview page you use when you're

building new pages or editing existing ones.

There's nothing for you to worry about. :-)

just thought I'd let you know what I found out, Lisa. : )
