About the International IAB/ABCe Spiders & Bots List

IAB has enlisted Im Services to perform evaluation and management services associated with maintaining and publishing the industry Spider and Robot list, the use of which is required for compliance to the IAB's Client Side Counting (CSC) Measurement Guidelines. We have also formed a Spider & Robot Policy Board to oversee and approve list modifications (see list below). In January 2006, the IAB and the ABCe agreed to merge their two lists to create a comprehensive ad- and site traffic-related spiders & bots list. This single list is now called the International IAB/ABCe Spiders & Bots List.

There are two text files included in the list, one for qualified browsers and one for known robots. These lists are intended to be used together to perform the "double pass" filtering as defined in the Guidelines. At the beginning of each file is a comment section that describes the format of the file and how to use it.

This is an extension of the Ad Campaign Measurement and Audit Guidelines issued late 2004. (http://www.iab.net/standards/measurement.asp)

The list will be updated monthly to reflect changes that are brought to the attention of Im Services, ABCe, and the Policy Board.

For any questions or comments on how to use the list, email spiders.bots@imservicesgroup.com or call ImServices Group at (847) 695-9575.
