Why is one of my hub URL showing up as blocked due to robots.txt in Adsense report? Where do I find the robots.txt for a particular hub?
robots.txt would be at the root of the server directory.
If you would submit the information from your Adsense report to team@hubpages.com they could probably answer how this could occur.
Put it into Edit and look in the right hand column - click on setting and have a look.. it's a mini C-panel..
If you can't fix it from there.. then it will need to be done from the maxi C-panel...
Good Luck.

Go to 'My Account' Click Your Hub into Edit mode and go from there
I don't know what the <snipped> you are talking about either...
- I thought that you could attack that problem via the settings on this c-panel... Sorry.. obviously not..
Then It Must be approached via the main C-panel (HQ) - where you may have to file this as a Bug Report.
Test the links on the URL manually.. where else have you posted this URL? Where have you tested it from... or is the link completely broken?
Can another party test this url link?
I have had a similar problem... But I unpublished the hub and then when republished it again it was ok! - That's where I was thinking...
I cannot find any reference to robot.txt there either.
I'm sure you would not be able to access HubPage's robot.txt file.
You could view it, but that would be the most you could do.
Here's another forum post from 15 months ago - http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/32255
Same topic.
It is mentioned that you may have a meta tag somewhere in the Hub and it needs to be removed.
thanks for the link. The discussion was really informative. The best options seems to waits for week. The blocked URL is as following.
http:/ / webcache. googleusercontent. com/ search? q= cache:XFZOuzyciGUJ:hubpages. com/ hub/ Problems-of-learning-English-as-a-foreign-or-second-language+difficulties+in+second+language+acquisition&cd= 6&hl= en&ct= clnk&gl= uk&source= www. google. co. uk
googleusercontent. com is owned by Google and webmasters have weird experience with webcache. googleusercontent. com as far as I have read on adsense forum.

No worries, it will resolve itself.

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?

Okay, not actual robots.I have a hub about how my mom got into this company called Melaleuca and basically how hard it was for her to get out of a contract that she was in (one that she never heard, read, or signed.)Anyway, it's just a story, really. The comments you see on it are comments that I...

I don't tell a lie! Would you ever consider or want to have sex with robots! This is a story carried by major international websites. How do you feel about changing you sex partner to a machine.

In my adsense report it says that one of my hubs is blocked because there is a Robots.txt file on it. The hub in question was written for a Hubmob topic. Its current score is 79. I obtained the information it contained from a number of sources and wrote it from scratch using my own words. It...

Some people might think that the engineering involved in the creation of the human body is quite basic and primitive. Well, I must ask: Has anyone ever created a biologically functioning human body from scratch? Because if anyone wants to create a perfect human body - then he/she must have the...
