To orkut team: Since last week due to some issue on robots.txt in orkut.com.br google adsense crawler has troubles reaching applications pages on the site. Which causes less targeted ads and less revenue for devwelopers and for google. This is the email we got from adsense: We noticed that our AdSense ad crawler is having some difficulty crawling some parts of your site on orkut.com.br. Specifically, we've detected 696,147 failed crawl requests over a 4-day period last week, which is caused by an issue within your robots.txt file. Essentially, this file is blocking certain sections of your site from our AdSense ad crawler. Because of this, your AdSense ads are less targeted and are generating less revenue on average. Fortunately, you can fix this issue today by editing your robots.txt file and giving our AdSense ad crawler the ability to view your site. To do this, find your robots.txt file, located at orkut.com.br/robots.txt and add the following two lines at the very top:
User-agent: Mediapartners-Google Disallow: Please add the above lines to robots.txt. Please note this change will not affect search and is only related to adsense crawler. thanks a lot -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "orkut Developer Forum" group.
