How to block BLEXBot ↓
§ I.

Identification

Its full user-agent string, exactly as it arrives at the gate:

User-Agent
$ Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; BLEXBot/1.0; +http://webmeup-crawler.com/)

WebMeUp does not publish a way to verify BLEXBot's traffic. Treat its user agent as a claim, not proof: anyone can send it. Read WebMeUp's documentation.

§ II.

How to block BLEXBot

Add these two lines to the robots.txt file at the root of your site. Well-behaved crawlers read it before they crawl, so the change applies from BLEXBot's next visit. Nothing else on your site needs to change.

robots.txt
# Block BLEXBot from the whole site
User-agent: BLEXBot
Disallow: /

Or let it visit but keep it away from part of the site:

# Let it in, but keep it out of one room
User-agent: BLEXBot
Allow: /
Disallow: /members/

§ V.

Questions site owners ask

Does BLEXBot respect robots.txt?

We can't say yet. It has not fetched robots.txt here, and it has not touched a disallowed page either.

Will blocking BLEXBot hurt my search rankings?

No. SEO crawlers build tools for marketers. Blocking them hides your links from those tools, not from search engines.

How often does BLEXBot visit?

Here, about 0 requests a day over the last week. Visits to your site depend on its size, how often it changes, and how many links point to it.
