 * At first, this plugin seemed very promising, but then it keeps blocking Google
   Bots.
    It blocked Adsense and also Google Search Console kept telling me there
   were indexing issues, all this despite of whitelisting bots or not.

 * Hi [@mikelimit9999](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikelimit9999/),
 * Normally this plugin whitelists anything Google related, so they never are blocked.
   When that’s not the case, it means there is some interference with another plugin
   or maybe something weird the theme is doing.
 * For example, as explained in the plugin documentation, plugin settings, help 
   tab, homepage, and elsewhere, Blackhole is not (yet) compatible with page-cache
   plugins. So if your site is doing any sort of page caching, that would be the
   first thing to check.
 * Best advice to figure out what’s happening on your site, would be to do some 
   basic troubleshooting. I would be glad to provide a guide if it might be useful
   for you.
