When I logged into my Google account and went to site diagnostics two of my sites were blocked....
The instructions to allow google to crawl these sites was: User-agent:Mediapartners-Google
Disallow:
Can anyone explain to me where I would paste these instructions?
I would really appreciate some help on this, thanks.
Have a look at what would be in the robots.txt file was not rows:
Goolebot
Dissalow: /
You allow/disallow search engines to crawl by pasting instructions in robots.txt file on server.
Connect to your website by ftp and locate the file.
Modify instructions in that file to allow Google crawl.
Thankyou both for answering the question: my problem is both the sites are hubs here on hubpages. I have no idea why two are blocked, and where I would paste the instructions.
Any further help appreciated.
This happened to me once and people in the forum told me not to worry about the robots file and that it would fix itself, and it did.

Just for a bit of background - I have been writing online for years, and literally have millions of words "out there". Only once did I have an AdSense account, and if I remember correctly, it was for a blog that is rarely used. It still appears, if I right-click on the blog, and view the...

People who search the site for specific topics, what are their searches logged as?Let me be clear. If someone who is not a member is roaming the site and search for topics in the "hubs" feed or in the "topics" feed, are those recorded as Hubpages views?

Google AdSense Site Diagnostics reports that a Robots.txt file is blocking their crawler from accessing one of my hubs. Can anyone suggest how I can resolve this issue?
