Occasionally you may have to block particular third parties from accessing your websites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and generate fake visits and online traffic. Additionally, there are spammers who leave links to suspicious Internet sites as comments to blog articles. This sort of things can drastically undermine your hard work, since nobody likes to visit an Internet site with many fake comments, not to mention that the increased traffic from both spammers and bots can generate high load on the web server in which 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 that generate the fake traffic, in order to be sure that the visits to your Internet site are real.
