Every now and then you may have to block certain third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are plenty of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and create fake visits and website traffic. Additionally, there are spammers who leave links to questionable sites as comments to blog articles. This type of things could significantly undermine your work, because no one likes to visit a site with countless fake comments, also the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the server where your Internet site is hosted, that can result in your site not functioning properly. One of the best solutions in cases like this is to block the IPs that generate the fake traffic, so as to be sure that the visits to your site are real.
