    Labyrinth does a good job at that, diverting bots into never ending rubbish pages of AI content. I sometimes search out how many are in...

    Apparently what precursor is doing is preventing the scraping by throwing extra pages at the bots to solve, not reducing the numbers of...

    I don't get rounds - I get 24/7 hammering! Although admittedly the hammering is a bit less during the day than at night. It's quite...

    Well I've set up Precursor. Apparently I can set up rules on the free plan - 3 showing. So I've set a precursor rule for the whats-new...

    I might be wrong but they hit the cookie banner to get rid of it, so they can "see" the full page clearly to index? They probably don't...
