SERankingBacklinksBot crawls the Internet to assist in getting information on the link structure of sites and their interlinking on the web to avoid any technical and possible legal issues and improve the overall online experience. The SERankingBacklinksBot crawler is identified by having a user-agent of the following form:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; SERankingBacklinksBot/1.0; +https://seranking.com/backlinks-crawler)
SERankingBacklinksBot verification
The SERankingBacklinksBot crawler will always use the user-agent mentioned above:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; SERankingBacklinksBot/1.0; +https://seranking.com/backlinks-crawler)
This identification method is susceptible to imposter attempts. If you suspect requests are being spoofed, consider implementing other methods outlined in this section.
Reverse DNS
Reverse DNS lookup by the bot’s IP should show you one of the sub-domains of *. seranking.com domain wildcard.
SERankingBacklinksBot crawling behaviour
Here are the main specifics about our bot that define its crawling process:
- SERankingBacklinksBot is a very site-friendly crawler. By default, if no specific crawl delay is set in your robots.txt or if the file is not found (e.g., served with a non-200 status code), our default crawl delay is 3 seconds.
- SERankingBacklinksBot always respects the rules you specify in your robots.txt file.
- SERankingBacklinksBot collects only publicly available information that can be accessed by any random visitor. If you think the Crawler collects some sensitive information, please remove it from public access.
- SERankingBacklinksBot does not read, parse, collect, or store any information from your site but the links from your pages. This refers to any texts, graphical or video materials, or anything else on your pages.
If any problems arise, they may be due to peculiarities of your particular site or a bug on another site linking to you. If you notice any problem with SERankingBacklinksBot, please report it to crawler@seranking.com. We will quickly make unique settings for your particular site so that the crawling will never affect your site's performance.
Managing SERankingBacklinksBot with robots.txt
Please ensure your robots.txt file is accessible and returns an HTTP 200 OK status code. If it does not, SERankingBacklinksBot, which emulates Google Bot behavior, will consider it non-existent.
With a robots.txt file, you may adjust the crawl delay for SERankingBacklinksBot or block it from parts or all of your site, as shown in the following examples. We recommend adjusting the crawl delay first to maintain site performance while allowing SERankingBacklinksBot to gather necessary link information and make your site more visible on the Internet.
How to slow down the Bot:
User-agent: SERankingBacklinksBot
Crawl-delay: 10
How to block specific sections of your site:
User-agent: SERankingBacklinksBot
Disallow: /private/
Disallow: /messages/
How to block an entire site:
User-agent: SERankingBacklinksBot
Disallow: /
Attention: As soon as you make changes to your robots.txt, please give the crawler up to a day to fully stop crawling your website. This is caused by the fact that some pages might be in the processing queue already, so we cannot guarantee the crawler will be able to stop immediately. However, it should fully stop crawling after one day max.
For a general introduction to the robots.txt protocol, please see http://www.robotstxt.org. Please also see the Wikipedia article for more details and examples of robots.txt rules.
