User agent

Requests from Linkdex Bot carry user agents like these:

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; linkdexbot/2.0; +http://www.linkdex.com/about/bots/)
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/532.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Mobile/8B117 Safari/6531.22.7 (compatible; linkdexbot-mobile/2.1; +http://www.linkdex.com/about/bots/)

Device Detector identifies it with this pattern (a case-insensitive regular expression):

linkdexbot|linkdex\.com

Anyone can put any name in a user agent. Where the operator publishes IP ranges, checking the request's address against them is the way to confirm a visit is genuine.

How Vireo counts Linkdex Bot

Vireo keeps requests from Linkdex Bot out of your pageviews and visitors and counts them on its bot report under Search engines, so you can see how much it left out rather than wonder why your server logs show more traffic.

Checked by running Vireo Analytics' own bot filter over Linkdex Bot's user agents.
