Which posts are tagged crawlers?
AI Visibility Why do ~30% of sites block AI crawlers without knowing it
Top-1,000 GPTBot Disallows hit 35.7% in Originality.AI’s Aug 2024 cut. Accidental blocks come from CDN defaults, plugins, leftover robots, and Googlebot mixups.

Allow citation crawlers if you want to be recommended; block Bytespider and CCBot if you do not need them. GPTBot trains. Googlebot is not Google-Extended.
AI Visibility Block Training Bots if You Want — Don’t Accidentally Block Being Cited
Block GPTBot for training if you want — keep OAI-SearchBot allowed for ChatGPT search citations. Google-Extended does not control Google Search indexing.
