Does BotDetect CAPTCHA block search engine bots?

• Using the BotDetect™ CAPTCHA on a web-page doesn’t block search engine bots from accessing that page. • All pages that can only be accessed after successful BotDetect CAPTCHA validation will not be crawlable by any bots. • The above assumes there aren’t any direct links to the the protected page, bypassing the CAPTCHA validation. Ideally, the protected page will check for direct visits, and redirect all clients that didn’t solve the CAPTCHA back to the challenge.
