correct https://www.google.com/adsense/list-auth Use this section to allow the AdSense crawler to access pages that are behind a login. Our crawler will access these pages only to determine content for ad targeting purposes and will fully comply with Google's privacy policy <http://www.google.com/privacy.html>
While they are determining content for ad targeting, they are looking at the pages content. This content will not show up in their index but logic says that it will be used to effect your ranking. I've seen search results that show a site and when I click on it, I get the logic. This says that Google has indexed past the login.
