Hi when running a pbn what bots should be getting blocked, ahrefs, moz site explorer, majestic, google?

Just so competitors can't look at your profile and possibly report you for having a pbn?

I think it is obvious when someone is running one to look at one

    Don't see any reason to give the OP a hard time, clearly he is just looking for some advice on the subject.

    As the others have said you definitely don't want to block the search spiders as you need them to index and crawl your site so that delicious link juice is going to flow to your money site.

    There are a couple of Wordpress plugins that block the most problematic ones, "Link Privacy" which is free, and "Spyder Spanker" which is a paid plugin. Some bots like Majestic's are often known to ignore Robots.txt so I'd block them in .htaccess as well.

    One big one that hasn't been mentioned above you absolutely must add to your block list is open link profiler. I believe there bot is named "spbot".
