There are plenty of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and generate fake visits and website traffic. Additionally, there are spammers that leave links to suspicious Internet sites as comments to site articles. This sort of things can drastically undermine your work, simply because no one likes to visit a website with many fake comments, also the increased traffic from both spammers and bots may create high load on the web server in which your Internet site is hosted, that can result in your site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in such cases is to block the IPs which generate the fake traffic, so as to ensure that the visits to your website are legitimate.
