And, how can I manually add spiders? Through their UA, or differently? I'm still not installing it, as this is very important for me, so I'm waiting to know how to do this.

Yes

isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) && !preg_match('/bot|crawl|slurp|spider/i', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))

Of course if you wanted to just allow a few bots and not all (The ones you know are good bots) then you could just check the user agent for Googlebot or multiple other bots.

strstr(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']), "Googlebot")
