Occasionally you may have to block particular third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and generate fake visits and site traffic. In addition, there are spammers that leave links to suspicious websites as comments to website articles. This kind of things could significantly undermine your hard work, because no one likes to visit a site with countless fake comments, furthermore the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the server where your website is hosted, which may result in the site not working properly. One of the best solutions in cases like this is to block the IPs that produce the fake traffic, as a way to be sure that the visits to your Internet site are legitimate.
