   Create a file on your server called "robots.txt"
   
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots.txt is a good starting point

   But only to prevent KNOWN spam bots. They get smarter and so must we - by blocking them early. If you have to research every bot who visits and determine if they are spammy or not then you'll need a full time team working for you.
