  I have a web site on google adsense, and have errors on the page and was told that I needed a robots.txt file to unblock my ads so they can be crawl.

  Google Adsense is not allowed on WordPress.com. It will get your blog banned.

  Is this the blog you’re talking about? http://r2sy.wordpress.com/ It doesn’t have anything on it yet.

  This is the wrordpress.COM technical support forum. We cannot have Google adsense or any kind of advertising on our blogs, and we are not allowed to use them to drive traffic to third party sites.

  I see that you have a wordpress. COM blog linked to your username. Do not put any advertising on it or you will be breaching the Terms of Service and policies for wordpress.com. The result will be blog suspension or even deletion.
  See: section 2, 5th bullet http://wordpress.com/tos/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/

  If you have another blog at Blogger (blogspot) with Google Adsense on it then the place to get help with the ads is the Google Adsense Help Forum https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=9712

  We’ve had an update to the Advertising entry in the support documentation.

  3. We are testing a feature called Ad Control that lets WordPress.com bloggers with a lot of traffic and appropriate content turn on AdSense for their blog and split the resulting revenues 50/50 with us. If you’d like to apply to try Ad Control and you get over 50k page views per month, please email (email visible only to moderators and staff) http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/
