Yeti

Naver's crawler for Naver search, the largest search engine in South Korea. Naver says it follows robots.txt.

What happens if you block it

Your site drops out of Naver search.

Our take

Allow it if you have users in Korea.

robots.txt

To block it:

User-agent: Yeti
Disallow: /

To allow it explicitly (useful when a wider rule blocks other bots):

User-agent: Yeti
Allow: /

The operator's own words

robots.txt allows it, but is it really getting through?

A firewall or CDN rule can reject Yeti even when robots.txt welcomes it, and nothing in your CMS shows it. Our check sends a live request as Yeti alongside a normal browser and a Googlebot control, so a bot-verification rule isn't mistaken for a block.
