Crawler
The 5od-profiler crawler
5od-profiler is the user agent 5od uses to read the pages of sites registered with 5od, so it can work out what each site and page is about.
- It reads
robots.txtfirst and follows it. It obeys rules for5od-profiler, or the rules for all robots (*) when there are none for it, and it honoursCrawl-delay. - It fetches one page at a time and waits between requests.
- It reads the home page, a small sample of addresses from the sitemap, and pages where a 5od ad slot has appeared.
- It doesn’t submit forms, log in, or follow links off the site.
To block it, add to robots.txt:
User-agent: 5od-profiler
Disallow: /
