I'm using SpyderSpanker Pro to hide my network links. So far, it has blocked every link from showing in Majestic, however nearly every link shows up in OSE and Ahrefs. I just implemented into the plugin settings the custom IP list to block from Todd Spears. It is too early to tell if this will work, however, since my links had already leaked into OSE and Ahrefs before I installed the custom IP list. Is anyone successfully blocking these other 2 link aggregators? This is high on my list of priorities. -Will thank for answers
There is actually a paid plugin for this called Spyder Spanker Pro. You can throw in the user agents from OSE and AHREFS to block them out, so they won't scan your PBN or site for backlinks. If you have Spyder Spanker Pro, paste this in the Block user agents area: Bots and IPs to block AhrefsBot BLEXBot Ezooms MJ12bot Majestic-12 Majestic-SEO NCBot Nutch SemrushBot
He said he already had that plugin, however maybe those bots will work. Can you report back and let us know OP?
