Hello,

So, I've been discussing this with the engineers here. Adsense crawlers 
don't crawl over authenticated pages (right?). So, even if 
/Application.aspx were not blocked, it would not be able to crawl it. So, 
isn't this warning spurious? That is, the fact that Application.aspx is 
blocked shouldn't alter your ads quality at all...

Or am I mistaken?

Thanks!
