To help cut down on some of the webcrawler traffic, create a robots.txt file
and put it in your webroot directory.  If you're using webv4 that would be
/sbbs/webv4/root.  In the robots.txt file, all you need really is three lines:

User-agent: *
User-agent: AdsBot-Google
Disallow: /

It won't eliminate all of the webcrawler traffic as there are some that ignore
it, but it will stop many from indexing everything on your site.
