Mediapartners-Google is Google’s crawler dedicated to evaluating webpages for Google AdSense. It scans pages to understand content, layout, and context so Google can deliver relevant ads and optimize revenue for publishers. Unlike Googlebot, this crawler does not index content for Search - its role is purely advertising-related. Blocking it may prevent AdSense from analyzing pages and serving targeted ads effectively. Crawl activity is generally light and focused on pages where AdSense code is present, helping Google match ad inventory with page themes and user interests. It ignores the global user agent (*) rule. RobotSense.io verifies AdSense / Mediapartners-Google using Google’s official validation methods, ensuring only genuine AdSense / Mediapartners-Google traffic is identified.

This bot does not honor Crawl-Delay rule.
