Google Updates Crawler Documentation for Mediapartners-Google
Google has made an update to its crawler documentation for Mediapartners-Google. The change aims to clarify information about the crawler, which was previously associated with AdSense.
The updated documentation makes it clear that the Mediapartners-Google crawler visits participating sites to provide relevant ads, affecting various ad-related Google products such as AdSense and Ad Manager.
However, the new listing does not explicitly mention other services like Google Marketing Platform, Local Services Ads, and Google AdMob.
This change may affect site owners, publishers, and SEOs who use the Mediapartners-Google user agent in robots.txt or other contexts. It's essential for them to take note of the updated documentation and adjust their crawling preferences accordingly.
