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 create fake visits and traffic. There's also spammers that leave links to questionable sites as comments to site articles. Such things can drastically undermine your work, as no one likes to visit a site with hundreds of fake comments, not to mention that the increased traffic from both spammers and bots can generate high load on the web server on which your Internet site is hosted, that can result in your site not functioning properly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IPs which generate the fake traffic, in order to make certain that the visits to your site are real.
