Detectar Bots y Web Spiders de los navegadores que nos visitan

Prácticamente la totalidad de los sitios web implementan su registro de visitas en una base de datos. Después de un tiempo se comienzan a acumular datos, que posteriormente se hace evidente que algunos de esos datos son basura debido a las arañas y los robots que están verificando el sitio. Este tipo de robots utilizan lineas de navegador únicas (HTTP_USER_AGENT), lo que hace que sean fáciles de identificar.

Con esta simple función, evitamos que nos contabilice como visita en nuestro registro.

function is_bot(){
 
    $bots = array(
        'Googlebot', 'Baiduspider', 'ia_archiver',
        'R6_FeedFetcher', 'NetcraftSurveyAgent', 'Sogou web spider',
        'bingbot', 'Yahoo! Slurp', 'facebookexternalhit', 'PrintfulBot',
        'msnbot', 'Twitterbot', 'UnwindFetchor',
        'urlresolver', 'Butterfly', 'TweetmemeBot' );
 
 
    foreach($bots as $b){
 
        if( stripos( $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], $b ) !== false ) return true;
 
    }
 
 
 
    return false;
 
}

function is_bot(){

$bots = array(

'Googlebot', 'Baiduspider', 'ia_archiver',

'R6_FeedFetcher', 'NetcraftSurveyAgent', 'Sogou web spider',

'bingbot', 'Yahoo! Slurp', 'facebookexternalhit', 'PrintfulBot',

'msnbot', 'Twitterbot', 'UnwindFetchor',

'urlresolver', 'Butterfly', 'TweetmemeBot' );

foreach($bots as $b){

if( stripos( $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], $b ) !== false ) return true;

}

return false;

}
