The problem is, I didn’t have that text file ANYWHERE on my site.

So I created a robots.txt file that says Google isn’t blocked and uploaded it to all my root directories.  Hopefully they get the idea that it is okay for me to advertise for them!

Unfortunately, I figured this out right after their bot crawled and said BLOCKED.  So I will likely have to wait another week for the ads to show up again.  (UPDATE:  Less than 24 hours later and the ads are back.  I think someone is watching out for me!)

Here is the file in case someone else needs it; apparently it is a common issue.

My website earnings are down due to a lack of new posts, problems with RSS feeds, and problems with Adsense.  I can’t earn very well if my links don’t go out half of the week!  Some technical trouble at home, too, but that is the beauty of working at home; problems don’t have to completely keep me away from work.  I did get my Genesis Rocket stuff done, so the network was built for another week regardless of the marketing issues.  At least I know the hits are there when I can provide quality content.

That aside – nearly 10,000 followers!  And those are mostly targeted, and not a big pile of zombie accounts.   When the numbers hit, they are gonna hit big.
