"*How can I block MJ12bot?*
MJ12bot adheres to the robots.txt[1] standard. If you want the bot to 
prevent website from being crawled then add the following text to your 
robots.txt: 
User-agent: MJ12bot
Disallow: /
Please do not waste your time trying to block bot via IP in htaccess - we do 
not use any consecutive IP blocks so your efforts will be in vain. Also 
please make sure the bot can actually retrieve robots.txt itself - if it can't 
then it will assume (this is the industry practice) that its okay to crawl your 
site. 
If you have reason to believe that MJ12bot did NOT obey your robots.txt 
commands, then please let us know via email: bot at majestic12.co.uk[2]. 
Please provide URL to your website and log entries showing bot trying to 
retrieve pages that it was not supposed to."
