Guest Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Hi Every day my webshop is visited by some kind of spider that puts lots of products in a shopping cart, of course without buying anything. Is it any way for me to disallow these spiders to visit my site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see sessions with the urls indexed about your store install the session regeneration module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill110 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Also use the robots.txt contribution and you can prevent them from going to the shopping cart.

♥FWR Media Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I think I know what the poster means. I have an up to date spiders.txt but occasionally I am visited by a spider/auto user that has a session and shows as multiple instances of an IP and just loads up carts. I just block the IP via the server.
