Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block NoahBot?
Confirm NoahBot's purpose before blocking it. Intelligence gatherers may collect competitive research, measure advertisements, or evaluate pages for brand safety. Weigh any benefit against sharing business or page-level data with its operator or clients. For context, 7% of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for NoahBot.
Does NoahBot Follow Robots.txt Rules?
Yes. NoahBot is expected to follow robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule is the appropriate first step. Automatic Robots.txt can add and maintain that rule, while Agent Analytics lets you verify whether NoahBot respects it.
Does NoahBot Access Private Content?
No special access. NoahBot can read publicly available pages but cannot bypass authentication. Assume anything you publish openly may be collected.
How Can I Tell if NoahBot Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks NoahBot visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "NoahBot". Traffic may range from repeated requests to the same pages to broader crawls or one-off fetches. Because NoahBot does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
