Once in a while you may need to block particular third parties from accessing your websites. There are a lot of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and site traffic. Additionally, there are spammers that leave links to suspicious sites as comments to blog articles. This kind of things could considerably undermine your projects, since no one likes to visit an Internet site with tons of fake comments, furthermore the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the server on which your website is hosted, which could result in your site not functioning properly. One of the best solutions in such a case is to block the IP addresses which generate the fake traffic, so as to ensure that the visits to your website are real.
