Fight again BingBot/2.0

Hi,

 

Do you have a pb with bingbot, for me it create between 50 and 150 sessions always on advanced search result.

I am tired.

 

 

I do that :

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^bingbot/.* [OR,NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} .*bingbot/.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} .*Bingbot/.* [OR]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://go.away/ [L]

What are your solution against this bot.

Hi Loic

Rather than ban Bing from the whole site how about using robots.txt? Add this:

User-agent: bingbotDisallow: path to/advanced_search.phpDisallow: path to/advanced_search_result.php

Although the latest osC has a header tags module that would so the same - OK so it would block those two files from all bots but I don't see that as a problem?

the problem is the session, I have always more 50 session open and the speed website could be more slow at the end.

The bots should never reach the advanced search result page since that should only be available after a search. If you have code links to it (a bad idea), then you need to add a no index, no follow tag to that file.

I haven't this pb with google. It's maybe my tag in relation with advanced sarch result do that. But it's only msn and it's ok but it create too session.
