The place to start is your robots.txt file. This file does/should

From what I see in my logs, compared to my robots.txt file

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

I still get robots that crawl the site multiple times a day. Seems that not
all crawlers/robots follow this rule. Plus, I think the "bad
crawlers/robots" out there will not be looking at adhering to the robots.txt
standard anyway.
