Re: How do I keep robots away ?

30 minutes and no robots (from linode.com) untill now…
You do know this will stop people’s ifttt recipes running, right? If someone has chosen to check your RSS feed with ifttt then those recipes will no longer be able to check your site for updates.
That might make people sad. It would make me sad, that’s for sure. ifttt people need love, too!

It will block the robots. The ifttt robots are hitting your site, and they send the triggers to the users. They are not malicious robots, and not frequent enough to cause any problems. Right now, because the robots are blocked, the ifttt service cannot access your feed to update the subscribers. If you unblock them, then ifttt will work again.

You might want to check this out, I use some of these rules in my own .htaccess file. Not all of them, though.
