What is MediaMonitoringBot?

About

MediaMonitoringBot crawls news and media publisher websites to index new content and match it against customer-provided keywords, delivering automated media monitoring updates to subscribers. You can see how often MediaMonitoringBot 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 MediaMonitoringBot?

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 MediaMonitoringBot?

⚠️ Manual Robots.txt Edits Are Not Scalable
New agents are created every day. Instead, serve a continuously updating robots.txt that blocks new agents automatically.
Set Up Automatic Robots.txt

You can block MediaMonitoringBot 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.
