Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block Konturbot?
Confirm Konturbot'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. Almost none of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for Konturbot.
Does Konturbot Follow Robots.txt Rules?
Yes. Konturbot 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 Konturbot respects it.
Does Konturbot Access Private Content?
No special access. Konturbot can read publicly available pages but cannot bypass authentication. Assume anything you publish openly may be collected.
How Can I Tell if Konturbot Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks Konturbot visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "Konturbot". Traffic may range from repeated requests to the same pages to broader crawls or one-off fetches. Because Konturbot does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
Why Is Konturbot Visiting My Website?
Kontur or one of its clients may be gathering competitive intelligence, measuring advertisements, or evaluating content for brand safety. The pages requested reflect the underlying objective.
