From time to time you may have to block certain third parties from accessing your websites. There are plenty of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and generate fake visits and website traffic. There's also spammers that leave links to questionable websites as comments to blog articles. This kind of things could considerably undermine your projects, since nobody likes to visit a website with countless fake comments, not to mention that the increased traffic from both spammers and bots can generate high load on the server where your Internet site is hosted, that can result in the site not working properly. One of the best solutions in such cases is to block the IP addresses that generate the fake traffic, as a way to make sure that the visits to your Internet site are real.
