Access Control

Should I Block linkdexbot?

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

Using Robots.txt

You can block linkdexbot or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt. We recommend setting up agent analytics to check whether it's actually following them.

User Agent Token	Description
`linkdexbot`	Should match instances of linkdexbot

# robots.txt
# This should block linkdexbot

User-agent: linkdexbot
Disallow: /

Instead of doing this manually, you can use the API or Wordpress plugin to keep your robots.txt updated with the latest known AI scrapers, crawlers, and assistants automatically.
