  R6_CommentReader 
  
Bot Description:

Crawler to see what people are saying about specific brands on the net.  From the site: "Know what people are saying about your products and industry - sell, service, and engage your customers more efficiently."

This was reported as a bad bot because there is no benefit to the website that the crawler is on.  It reports back to companies about what people are saying about their brands or products.

Using Meta Tags:

You can use meta tags in your pages to help control the access bots have to your site.  If you use a template for all your pages, you can add the meta tags in between the <head> and </head> and it will work on all the pages using that template.  If you want to control specific pages, you can add the meta tags on individual pages in between the <head> and </head> instead.

Allow all bots to access your page(s)
<meta name=”robots” content=”index” />

Allow all bots to access your page(s) and follow links on the pages
<meta name=”robots” content=”index, follow” />

Allow all bots to access your page(s) but do not allow them to follow links
<meta name=”robots” content=”index, nofollow” />

Do not allow any bots to access your page(s)
<meta name=”robots” content=”noindex” />

Allow R6_CommentReader to access your page(s)
<meta name="R6_CommentReader" content="index">

Do not allow R6_CommentReader to access your page(s)
<meta name="R6_CommentReader" content="noindex">

Allow R6_CommentReader to access your page(s) and follow the links to more pages
<meta name="R6_CommentReader" content="index, follow">

        


Using HTACCESS:

You may have the ability to add and or modify an htaccess file on your server.  The htaccess file can be used to control the bots at the server level.  Add the following to the .htaccess file on your server to block specific bots from visiting your site.  Be sure to replace the Enter User Agent with the user-agents for the bots you would like to block simliar to the user-agent (R6_CommentReader) listed in the example below. 

SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent ^$ bad_bot #leave this for blank user-agents
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^R6_CommentReader" bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^Enter User-Agent" bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^Enter User-Agent" bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^Enter User-Agent" bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^Enter User-Agent" bad_bot
