How to block TradingPaperEvidence

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 TradingPaperEvidence's next visit. Nothing else on your site needs to change.

robots.txt
# Block TradingPaperEvidence from the whole site
User-agent: TradingPaperEvidence
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: TradingPaperEvidence

Questions site owners ask

Does TradingPaperEvidence 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 TradingPaperEvidence hurt my search rankings?

No. Nothing respectable will miss it.

How often does TradingPaperEvidence 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.
