I noticed that AdSense advertisements were being blocked on a few of my pages and posts. I did a little research and found out that my server host did not create the proper file in my root directory.

You can check if you are having problems as well if you go to your AdSense Reports, and then look at your Site Diagnostics. Here you will find a list of blocked URLs and the reason as to why the URL was blocked. As you can see, none of the pages on my blog have a reason for their blockage.

In order to resolve this issue, you need to create a text file named: robots.txt and place it in the root directory of your website. The following text must be in the file:

User-agent: Mediapartners-Google*
Disallow:

After these steps, your AdSense advertisements should display properly throughout your website, given you follow the other terms of service.
