Another technique is to block specific search engine crawlers with a rule in IIS. You could adapt this (very truncated) version that I use...
<rule name="Abuse User Agents Blocking" stopProcessing="true" enabled="true"> <match url=".*" ignoreCase="false" /> <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny"> <add input="{HTTP_USER_AGENT}" pattern="^.*(1Noonbot|1on1searchBot|3D_SEARCH|3DE_SEARCH2).*$" /> </conditions> <action type="CustomResponse" statusCode="403" statusReason="Forbidden" statusDescription="Forbidden" /> </rule>
Whenever you need to begin fine-tuning your SEO strategy like this, you'll want to use a multi-prong approach.
redirectRules
Posted By Will Strohl on 1/3/2024 6:45 PM [...] As necessary, the suggestion to use the redirectRules suggested by James can be used, but this is a last resort, in my opinion.

I find this is a very charming approach. I did that very often, not for search bots, but for other suspicious activities, e.g. known login Urls for other CMSs. Eg. the Url /wp-login.php is known for WordPress login. If a hacker gets a 404 ("Not found") response, he might thinks it it not WordPress, but if he gets a 403 response ("Forbidden"), he might think it is WordPress and tries several vulnerabilities concerning WordPress - and therefore looses time (of course there are other things needed as well, e.g. supressing the "Powered-by ASP.Net" header etc.).
Happy DNNing! Michael
