Specific Page Protection and Facebot… it ignores robots.txt
-
Hey guys,
Super cool idea!
I believe that Facebot / Twitter bot ignores robots.txt rules. I might be wrong about that, but if we were to completely ‘ban’ this bot permanently, it would stop facebook from indexing open graph data on our entire site.
So:
1. Does blackhole ban the facebook twitter bot? I would like to selectively block it from accessing certain pages… but not ban the IP entirely. Not sure how your banning works, but page specific banning would be pretty cool.
2. Can you enable the black hole on specific pages, that we know have a ‘do not index’ specified. This way, only bots that break the rules will be punished?
I think that’s it for now!
Thanks for making such a cool thing!
