Search Engine User Agent Bot Names

August 17th, 2009 · No Comments

Because I found it extremely difficult to locate the user agent / bot names of the various big search engines, I’ve decided to list them here:

Google User Agents:

  • Googlebot: crawl pages from our web index and our news index
  • Googlebot-Mobile: crawls pages for our mobile index
  • Googlebot-Image: crawls pages for our image index
  • Mediapartners-Google: crawls pages to determine AdSense content. We only use this bot to crawl your site if AdSense ads are displayed on your site.
  • Adsbot-Google: crawls pages to measure AdWords landing page quality. We only use this bot if you use Google AdWords to advertise your site.

Yahoo User Agent:

  • Slurp

MSN / Bing User Agents:

ASK / Teoma:

  • Mozilla/2.0

Alexa / The Internet Archive:

  • ia_archiver
  • ia_archiver-web.archive.org
  • ia_archiver/1.6
