How to block all crawlers but Google's

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.

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?

Ahora esto es posible a través de la configuración del sitio; busca “crawler”, específicamente blocked crawler user agents. También existe allowed crawler user agents si deseas ser muy estricto y prohibir todo, excepto un rastreador específico.
