Occasionally you may need to block specific third parties from accessing your sites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and create fake visits and website traffic. There are also spammers that leave links to shady Internet sites as comments to website articles. This type of things can considerably undermine your hard work, as nobody likes to visit an Internet site with hundreds of fake comments, also the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the server where your site is hosted, which can result in the site not working properly. Among the most effective solutions in cases like this is to block the IP addresses which create the fake traffic, so as to make sure that the visits to your site are real.
