Adsense and robots.tx
They take the form of
with the details varying.
I don't see why my robots.txt would match that (or any of the others):

In Googling around, I found a suggestion to add these lines:
User-agent: Mediapartners-Google
Allow: /
User-agent: Adsbot-Google
Allow: /
User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Allow: /
User-agent: Googlebot-Mobile
Allow: /
I don't know why I'd need to, but I'll try it - are the last two really Adsense related?
