🤖 Custom Robots.txt Generator
This tool creates the perfect robots.txt file for a Blogger site. It tells Google to crawl your sitemaps and posts while ignoring low-value search and label pages, which is essential for AdSense approval.
How to Use This Code
- Go to your Blogger Dashboard.
- Navigate to Settings → Crawlers and indexing.
- Enable the toggle for "Enable custom robots.txt".
- Click on "Custom robots.txt" (the text, not the toggle).

Why a Default Blogger Robots.txt Causes AdSense Rejection
When you get rejected from AdSense for "Site Down or Unavailable" or "Low-Value Content," it's often not about your articles. It's a technical indexing error. By default, Blogger's robots.txt file is too simple. It doesn't stop Google from crawling and indexing your "search" and "label" pages. This creates hundreds of thin, duplicate content pages, which makes the AdSense bot think your entire site is low-quality.
A custom robots.txt file solves this. It's like giving Google a clear map, telling it: "Please index my high-quality articles, but ignore all this low-value clutter." Our generator creates that perfect map for you.
How This Tool Helps a "Technology & AI" Blog
Let's look at practical examples of how a custom robots.txt is critical for a tech blog.
Problem 1: Thin Content from "Label" Pages
Imagine your AI blog has labels like /search/label/ChatGPT, /search/label/Midjourney, and /search/label/Python. The AdSense bot sees these pages as "thin content"—just a list of links and snippets. This tool blocks them.
This Tool's Fix: The line
Disallow: /searchin your newrobots.txtfile tells Google's bot to ignore all label and search pages completely. This removes the "thin content" error and forces AdSense to focus only on your real articles.
Problem 2: Wasted "Crawl Budget"
Your tech blog might have hundreds of posts. You want Google to spend its time (its "crawl budget") indexing your new "GPT-5 Analysis" post, not re-indexing 50 old label pages. A clean robots.txt directs Google's power to your most important content.
Problem 3: Missing Sitemap
How does Google even know when you publish a new AI tutorial? The default Blogger setup doesn't explicitly tell it. This tool adds two sitemap links directly into the file.
This Tool's Fix: The
Sitemap: ...lines act as a direct invitation, ensuring Google (and the AdSense bot) can instantly find your complete list of articles and see that your site is active and full of content.
Our Experience: From Rejection to Approval
Why trust this tool? Because we built it to solve our own problem. My first tech blog (TateyTech) was repeatedly rejected by AdSense for "low-value content" despite having 20+ detailed articles. The problem was 100% technical.
After weeks of research, I realized Google was indexing over 150 "label" pages but had missed 5 of my actual posts. By creating and implementing the exact robots.txt file this generator produces, my site's indexing was fixed. I was approved by AdSense 7 days later. This tool is the exact solution I used.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can a bad robots.txt really get me rejected by AdSense?
Yes. While not a direct rejection reason, a bad
robots.txtfile causes "low-value content" and "site navigation" errors. If the AdSense bot can't find your best posts or only finds duplicate label pages, it will reject you.
Is this robots.txt file safe for my new Tech & AI blog?
Yes. This is the standard, Google-recommended format for Blogger. It specifically blocks
/search(which includes labels) and allows everything else. It's the safest and most effective way to optimize a Blogger site.
I updated my robots.txt. Why am I still rejected?
Fixing your
robots.txtis Step 1. Google needs time to re-crawl your site (this can take days or weeks). After updating, go to Google Search Console, submit your sitemap (from the link in the generated file), and check the "Pages" report to confirm your label pages are being removed from the index.
