From time to time you may have to block certain third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a lot of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and traffic. There's also spammers who leave links to suspicious websites as comments to site articles. This type of things can greatly undermine your hard work, as no one likes to visit an Internet site with tons of fake comments, furthermore the increased traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the server on which your Internet site is hosted, which can result in the site not functioning properly. Among the most effective solutions in this case is to block the IPs that create the fake traffic, as a way to be sure that the visits to your website are authentic.
