From time to time you may have to block particular third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and create fake visits and website traffic. There's also spammers who leave links to shady Internet sites as comments to site articles. This sort of things can drastically undermine your projects, as no one likes to visit a site with many hundreds of fake comments, not to mention that the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the web server where your Internet site is hosted, that could result in your site not functioning properly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IPs that create the fake traffic, as a way to make certain that the visits to your site are real.
