Shield Setup

When it comes to protecting your marketing stack, not all bots are the enemy. Some play crucial roles in making your campaigns shine. Here’s a breakdown of the "good bots" Ðeny allows through the gates:

What are “good bots”?

Good bots are automated systems from trusted companies that enhance your digital marketing efforts. These bots don’t waste your budget or mess with your attribution—they’re team players!

Which good bots does Ðeny allow?

We ensure the following bots get VIP access to your site:

1. AppleBot
   • Apple’s bot helps index your content for spotlight search, Siri, and more. Think of it as Apple’s way of ensuring your content looks sharp on their devices.
2. MSN Search Bot (a.k.a. BingBot)
   • Microsoft’s search bot powers Bing and other search engine services, indexing your site to help users find your content.
3. Google Search and Ads Bots
   • Google’s search bot makes sure your pages rank properly in search results.
   • The Google Ads bot verifies that your ads are linked to relevant landing pages—essential for maintaining high-quality scores and ad visibility.
4. Facebook Bot
   • This bot checks how your pages look when shared on Facebook and Instagram. It ensures your content previews correctly and keeps your social links enticing.

Why do we allow these bots?

These bots provide legitimate value by indexing your site for search engines, improving ad performance, and optimizing social media sharing. Ðeny’s goal is to block fraudsters, not the friends.

How does Ðeny differentiate between good bots and bad bots?

Ðeny leverages advanced algorithms, real-time IP reputation checks, and ASN lookups to identify good bots. Our system cross-references these bots with global allowlists, ensuring they never get caught in the crossfire.

For CMS platforms beyond Webflow and WordPress, follow these universal instructions to insert the Ðeny code:

1. Access Your CMS’s Custom Code or Template Editor

• Log in to your CMS dashboard.
• Locate the Settings, Template Editor, or Custom Code section. This could be found under Site Settings, Advanced Settings, or HTML/CSS Editor.

2. Identify Where to Insert the Code

• Choose whether the code should go in the Header or Body section of your site template. The Header is recommended for scripts that need to run as soon as the page loads.
• If your CMS supports global header and footer code injection, use that feature to ensure the code is included site-wide.

3. Paste the Ðeny Script

• Copy the Ðeny JavaScript code.
• Paste it into the designated Header or Body field.

4. Save and Publish

• Save your changes and publish your site to activate the script.

5. Verify the Implementation

• Test the page by inspecting the source code (right-click on the page > View Page Source) to ensure the script is present and active.

Note: The specific steps might vary depending on your CMS, but most platforms provide a way to inject code site-wide through global settings or a theme/template editor. For more advanced CMSs, consult their documentation or community forums for detailed guidance.

To insert the Ðeny code on your WordPress site and manage it efficiently, you can use a plugin to handle custom scripts. Here’s how to do it:

1. Install a Plugin for Code Management

• Go to your WordPress dashboard.
• Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
• Search for and install a plugin like "Insert Headers and Footers" by WPBeginner or "Code Snippets".

2. Add the Ðeny Code

• Once the plugin is installed and activated, go to Settings > Insert Headers and Footers (or the equivalent section if using a different plugin).
• Paste the Ðeny JavaScript code into the Header or Body section, depending on when you want it to run.

3. Save Changes

• Click Save to apply the changes.

4. Verify Implementation

• Refresh your site and check that the code is active by viewing the page source (right-click > View Page Source).

Helpful Plugin Links:

• Insert Headers and Footers by WPBeginner
• Code Snippets Plugin

These plugins simplify code management, letting you deploy Ðeny’s protective script across your entire site without editing theme files directly.
