Scrapebox will do if majesticseo can't!

Agreed 100% - stopping the bots from spidering your own site, how does that prevent them from discovering your backlinks? It just doesn't

Its blocking the bots on your network exclusively by placing .htaccess on each of the network of sites and not the entire web.

idea is nice, but don't think it's real. Look at google cloaking...you need always: every day, every minute monitor ip's, headers etc of bots, analyze it, delete/replace ip's each time. Do you understand how much servers, ips, proxys have such services and how often they changes?

You can only block the bots from crawling your site so that means that they will still see the backlinks from other sites and sources you are getting your links from.

Unless the bots somehow make sure the links are pointed to a valid link when crawling, but I dont see why they would do that.

You need to get links that your competitors are not able to and that usually starts with a high quality link network as mentioned above. I would say theres a few out there that are pretty good.

just 1 thing. you need to put this robots/htacces on sites that link to you. puttign them on your money site wont make it disappear from other sites linking to it.
so if u dont control link sources, then this will not help u at all.

anyways the htaccess and robots.txt is good. just understand how this bots work.
