I was thinking if using .htaccess to ban referrers will ban googlebot forever from crawling my site or just when it comes from this referrers? I want still to be indexed ofcourse I will use this : RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} host\.com [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} host\.net [NC] RewriteRule .* - [F]
