Disallow: /Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block cludo.com?
Only if you want your own pages and outbound links out of those tools. cludo.com collects the ranking and backlink data behind SEO tools, likely including ones you or your agency use, and it does not change how search engines rank you. Blocking it will not hide your backlink profile either, because backlinks are discovered on the sites that link to you. Almost none of the top websites we track have robots.txt rules for cludo.com right now.
Does cludo.com Respect Robots.txt?
Yes. cludo.com is expected to honor 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 cludo.com actually honors it.
Does cludo.com Access Private Content?
Login walls stop it. cludo.com analyzes public pages for rankings, links, and site structure.
Why Is cludo.com Visiting My Website?
Your domain shows up in the ranking, backlink, and competitor data cludo.com's operator sells. If anyone tracks your site or your competitors in an SEO tool, cludo.com visits you.
How Can I Tell if cludo.com Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks cludo.com 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 "cludo.com". Look for full site crawls that follow your internal links. Keep in mind that cludo.com 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.
