AdsBot-Google checks web page quality for Google Ads. It is distinct from Google's search crawler and from the Mediapartners crawler associated with AdSense. Seeing its name in a log does not mean that your site has been approved for AdSense, that advertisements are active or that its search ranking has improved.
Historical record
- IP address:
66.249.92.130. - Country recorded by the site: United States.
Recorded user-agent:
AdsBot-Google (+http://www.google.com/adsbot.html)These values preserve the site's historical record. They are not a current list of Google addresses, and the country label does not authenticate a request.
Verifying an AdsBot request
A user-agent can be copied by another client. Consult Google's special-case crawler documentation and its verification guidance before granting access based on a bot identity. Use the current information for this crawler category, not a single IP from an old log.
Look at the requested pages, request frequency and HTTP responses when investigating activity. Keep authentication and other protections on private resources; a crawler label is not a substitute for access controls.
