PiplBot
PiplBot is Pipl's web-indexing robot. PiplBot crawler collects documents from the Web to build a searchable index for our People Search engine.
Unlike a typical search-engine robots, PiplBot is designed to retrieve information from the deep web; our robots are set to interact with searchable databases and not only follow links from other websites.
As part of the crawling, PiplBot takes robots.txt standards into account to ensure we do not crawl and index content from those pages whose content you do not want included in Pipl Search.
To block PiplBot from crawling your site, add the following to your robots.txt file:
User-agent: PiplBot
Disallow: /
