Thank you.

Thank you Sven.

Does it mean that crawling these sites by GSA Platform Identifier was rejected for some reason?

Ahh now I get what you mean. Some SER engines can generate a link by a fake user agent. Instead of using a normal User Agent, it's sending one with a link included and later some sites displaying it.
