Robots.txt for forums & vBSEO

[Kaustubh]

Hi All,

I logged into my adsense account and found out that the 'Robots.txt' is blocking visits. However, I am unable to find the robots.txt for the forums.

Where is it?

vb/vbseo do not ship with this file. If you made one, it was made by yourself. it ONLY functions in your site root...
site.com/robots.txt

This is what I have: -

User-agent: Mediapartners-Google
Disallow:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /administrator/
Disallow: /cache/
Disallow: /components/
Disallow: /images/
Disallow: /includes/
Disallow: /installation/
Disallow: /language/
Disallow: /libraries/
Disallow: /media/
Disallow: /modules/
Disallow: /plugins/
Disallow: /templates/
Disallow: /tmp/
Disallow: /xmlrpc/

It stays at root url like sitename.com/robots.txt if you have a 404 page he tries t read content and if the bot sees any words like disallow // obey it rule.

I think adsense bot try to enter /template/and it's blocked? What's the url it's blocked can you check?

mediapartners bot is for adsense only. you are not blocking any crawler robots.

Seems like there is nothing blocked in there where you should lose Adsense income.
