How Can I Make Use Of This List?
[adrotate group=”2″]If you employ a blacklist to block out malicious attackers, you can use the list to make sure none of the search engine robot IP addresses are listed in your blacklist.
If you don’t do that, the blacklist can prevent search engine robots from crawling your website, at great cost to your search rankings.
You can also add these search engine robot IP addresses to a whitelist. This ensures that your security plugins will never impede a genuine search engine robot from indexing your website.
