Occasionally you may have to block specific third parties from accessing your websites. There are plenty of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and site traffic. There are also spammers who leave links to suspicious Internet sites as comments to blog articles. Such things may considerably undermine your projects, simply because nobody likes to visit a website with countless fake comments, plus the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the web server in which your website is hosted, which can result in the site not functioning properly. One of the best solutions in such a case is to block the IP addresses that produce the fake traffic, so as to be certain that the visits to your website are real.
