NicheMinerBot

If you see "NicheMinerBot" in your server logs, this page explains what it is.

What it does

NicheMinerBot belongs to Niche Miner, a research tool for website publishers. It reads public information that sites publish for exactly this purpose: the ads.txt file and the homepage. From these it notes which ad networks and which website platform a site uses (for example AdSense, Mediavine, WordPress or Shopify).

  • It visits each site rarely: usually one request for robots.txt, one for /ads.txt and one for the homepage.
  • It never logs in, never fills in forms and never follows links deeper into a site.
  • It runs at a slow pace and honours robots.txt.

How to block it

Add these two lines to your robots.txt and NicheMinerBot will not visit your site:

User-agent: NicheMinerBot
Disallow: /

A rule that blocks all bots (User-agent: * with Disallow: /) also keeps it out.
