+
+ <p>
+ As of version 3.9.3, the link checker honors
+ <a href="http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/exclusion.html#robotstxt">robots exclusion rules</a>. To place rules specific to the W3C Link Checker in
+ <code>/robots.txt</code> files, sites can use the
+ <code>W3C-checklink</code> user agent string. For example, to allow
+ the link checker to access all documents on a server and to disallow
+ all other robots, one could use the following:
+ </p>
+
+ <pre>
+User-Agent: *
+Disallow: /
+
+User-Agent: W3C-checklink
+Disallow:
+</pre>
+
+ <p>
+ Note that <code>/robots.txt</code> rules affect only user agents
+ that honor it; it is not a generic method for access control.
+ </p>
