Thank you.

I am only banning 4 useragnts at the moment, but I wish to ask is there a condensed version of 'must ban' useragents off that list here, as compared to the whole list? I dont want to go crazy and ban too much especially if it hurts my membership or adsense rev.

So far I ban:

Baidu
Yeti
Twiceler
Yandex

99% of the chinese bots will bring no traffic so won't hurt your adsense revenue, on my other sites i ban ALL chinese bots as they index far too agressively, these are the ones i ban at my other sites:
Yandex
Yeti
Baidu
soso
sogou
ichiro
speedy
spinn3r
mlbot
psbot
SBIder
Ezooms
snap shots
metauri
YoudaoBot
youdao

Hope that helps you, but of course its a personal thing
