#NoBot #NoIndex #NoBridge

This post is a test of a custom rule for Cloudflare I've been working on, and of my own conspiracy theory.

Forgive me my tinfoil hat: I have long suspected that the use of these tags (above), in fact, results in attracting more attention from crawlers/spiders/bots/whatever; that said automated systems exist which are specifically instructed to look for these tags, and to index any and all pages in which they find them.

If and only if my custom rule blocks a notably higher number of attempts to index this post alone, as compared to any of my other posts individually, I assume my theory is true until otherwise proven.

I will provide an update about this whenever I have one.
