About 1/3 of our traffic is from crawlers (about 250K last month). Is there a way to block these but allow Google’s crawlers?
AI-generated summary
A user, Roy_ILGM, is seeking a way to block crawlers while allowing Google’s crawlers on their site, which receives a significant amount of crawler traffic. codinghorror suggests using site settings, where you can find options to block crawler user agents, or specify allowed crawler user agents to only permit specific crawlers, such as Google’s.
This is now possible via site settings, search for “crawler”, specifically blocked crawler user agents. There is also allowed crawler user agents if you want to be very strict and disallow everything except a specific crawler.
