From time to time you may need to block certain third parties from accessing your websites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and create fake visits and site traffic. There's also spammers that leave links to suspicious sites as comments to blog articles. This type of things may drastically undermine your work, simply because no one likes to visit a website with many hundreds of fake comments, furthermore the increased traffic from both spammers and bots can generate high load on the server in which your site is hosted, that could result in the site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in such a case is to block the IP addresses which produce the fake traffic, so as to be certain that the visits to your Internet site are authentic.
