Occasionally you may need to block specific third parties from accessing your websites. There are a lot of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and site traffic. There are also spammers that leave links to suspicious websites as comments to site articles. This sort of things could drastically undermine your hard work, because no one likes to visit a website with many hundreds of fake comments, also the increased traffic from both spammers and bots can generate high load on the server where your Internet site is hosted, which may result in the site not functioning properly. One of the best solutions in such cases is to block the IP addresses which produce the fake traffic, in order to be certain that the visits to your site are real.
