What is Leikibot?

About

Leikibot is a web crawler operated by DoubleVerify that analyzes webpage content for digital advertising verification, brand safety, and ad fraud detection services. You can see how often Leikibot visits your website by setting up Dark Visitors Agent Analytics.

Expected Behavior

The behavior of intelligence gatherers depends on the goals of their clients. For example, a client might be interested in brand sentiment, in which case the agent would crawl related social media or blog posts at a more frequent rate than unrelated websites.

Should I Block Leikibot?

Probably not, especially if you benefit from an intelligence gathering service yourself. However, you might choose to block them if you're concerned about things like server resource usage.

How Do I Block Leikibot?

You can block Leikibot or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt. Set up Dark Visitors Agent Analytics to check whether it's actually following them.

⚠️ Manual Robots.txt Editing Is Not Scalable

New agents are created every day. We recommend setting up Dark Visitors Automatic Robots.txt if you want to block all agents of this type.
