Site Controls - Forbidden Access

LinkAlarm will not use a server's robots.txt for access restrictions, just like anyone using a browser.

Overriding robots.txt

Some sites disallow robots (like LinkAlarm) from accessing their content by using a robots.txt file. Links that are unable to be checked by this restriction are displayed in the Links Not Checked section of your report.

To check these links anyway (overriding others' robots.txt files) turn Forbidden Access ON.
