    I've been running across a few sites and should have been keeping a list on them. I've done a robots.txt file search and couldn't locate any blocking of a search engine spider. Or, I could be doing it wrong too. I'd notice huge directories for link exchanges with no PR and the home page with a PR of 5 or greater. Doesn't make sense, unless your blocking a search engine crawl. I'd like to know if there is another way of catching this type of activity. Maybe the directories are new, and most likely not.

    An example would be:

    "abcdcompany.com/robots.txt"

    Any other ideas on locating blocking of spiders attempts to index pages? My main focust is locating and identifying those sites that are intentially blocking their reciprocal links pages from being indexed at all and thus appearing like they have little outbound links. And what would a diret page block look like on a robot.txt file? Say someone was blocking spiders from accessing a page that looks like:
    "abcdcompany.com/directory/businessresources.html"

    Thanks Alex
