The purpose of this page:
This page is intended for Webmasters of sites visited by MoniQA for
collecting benchmark information. The purspose of the page is to
clarify issues related to MoniQA's automated visits to such sites,
as recommended in the document Standard for Robot Exclusion
(see: www.robotstxt.org/wc/norobots.html).
Industry Benchmarks:
MoniQA is continuosly collecting performance information on selected Web
sites for our industry benchmarks (such as the
eTailer Index and the
eService Index). This information is
collected at our own expense, and is available on our Web site as a
public service. MoniQA collects this information by visiting the
benchmarked sites once every hour, and the additional traffic
generated by MoniQA's visits is insignificant.
How to receive Alerts:
Webmasters and other persons associated with the benchmarked sites
may receive by email, at no charge, the alerts generated when MoniQA
encounters errors while visiting these sites. To become a recipient of
such alerts please email us your request to
help[at]vertain.com. Please note that
as an Alert Recipient you'll be able to access historical and statistical
benchmark information not available to the public.
Additional Services:
In addition to the benchmarks, we offer a range of
monitoring services. To open your own free monitoring account click
here.
How to exclude your site from the benchmarks: If you wish us to
stop monitoring your site for the above benchmarks, please let us know
by email to help[at]vertain.com.
Alternatively, follow the procedure described in the document
Standard for Robot Exclusion (www.robotstxt.org/wc/norobots.html),
and add to the file
"robots.txt" on the root directory of your Web server lines similar
to the example below:
User-Agent: moniqa.vertain.com
Disallow: # list of files to disallow
