Will Google be able to access my site after blocking all US IP addresses?

Question

I am going to block all US IPs using .htaccess as follows:

<Limit GET HEAD POST> order deny,allow deny from 3.0.0.0/8 deny from 4.0.0.0/25 deny from 4.0.0.128/26 deny from 4.0.0.192/28 deny from 4.0.0.208/29 .... allow from all </Limit> 

Will Google access and index my site after blocking all US IPs?

EDIT: Sorry for the ambiguity, but I want Google to index my site.

Answer 1

Although Google has its own servers spreading all over the world, it would be rather difficult to say where the search robots come from. I suggest blocking IP ranges, but add an exception clause that matches the User-Agent for search bots, such as:

 SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent (googlebot|bingbot|yahoo!\sslurp) is_search_bot <Directory /docroot> Order Deny,Allow Deny from 3.0.0.0/8 Deny from 4.0.0.0/25 Deny from 4.0.0.128/26 Deny from 4.0.0.192/28 Deny from 4.0.0.208/29 Allow from env=is_search_bot </Directory> 

Answer 2

I don’t think so, but if you really don’t know what Google is indexing, then use the robot.txt file so that it does not index it. The robot.txt file will be

 User-agent: googlebot Disallow: /directory/ 

If this is just a matter of blocking US ip and that is then probably good, since Google has data centers in many different places, and not just in the United States. This means that Google is likely to index it anyway.

Answer 3

Although Google has many data centers, all of their bots are located in the USA, so Google will not be able to crawl your site if you block us ips

Answer 4

If you cannot access the root of the domain, just use this meta tag to block the bot index index page (s): / p>

 <meta name="googlebot" content="noindex"> 

If your site has already been indexed by a Google crawler, follow the guide Remove your content from Google search results

There is all the information you need.

Here Google teaches how you can block your site’s Googlebot index: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93708

As for your question, I think that if you block the entire US IP address, “Google is another country” should access and index your site, then it should synchronize with Google US.
