Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block Mars Finder?
No, unless you want your pages out of search results. Mars Finder feeds a search engine index, and blocking it erases your visibility and organic traffic from that engine. This is the one category almost every website should allow. Almost none of the top websites we track have robots.txt rules for Mars Finder right now.
Does Mars Finder Follow Robots.txt Rules?
Yes. Mars Finder is expected to follow robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule is the right first move. Automatic Robots.txt adds and maintains that rule for you, and Agent Analytics confirms Mars Finder actually follows it.
Does Mars Finder Access Private Content?
No. Mars Finder indexes public pages only and does not sign in anywhere. Watch for accidentally public content though, because anything reachable without a login can end up in search results.
Why Is Mars Finder Visiting My Website?
Mars Finder is keeping its search index current. Links, sitemaps, or direct submission brought it to your site, and it comes back at a rate tuned to how often your content changes and how popular your site is.
How Can I Tell if Mars Finder Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks Mars Finder visits in real time alongside every other known AI agent, crawler, and scraper. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user agent string contains "Mars Finder". Look for steady recurring visits spread across your site. Keep in mind that Mars Finder doesn't publish a verification method, so any client can claim its user agent string and a log match is a hint rather than proof.
