Default Detecting Googlebot using php
q1. How do you detect Googlebot using php?

q2. Also is it always bad to treat Googlebot differently than other bots and visitors?

q3. Also another question about Googlebot. Can the following robots.txt completely reject all visits from Googlebot?

Code:
User-Agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /

I wouldn't advise stopping google bot from searching your website. 95% of my search engine traffic comes from google. If I were ever banned from google it would really hurt my website.

Why don't you want to allow bots on your site? Do you have stuff you don't want them to find?

If you want to dis allow searchs on your site. Use .htaccess.
