There are a lot of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and site traffic. There's also spammers who leave links to questionable sites as comments to site articles. Such things can considerably undermine your projects, simply because nobody likes to visit a site with tons of fake comments, furthermore the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots can generate high load on the server in which your site is hosted, which could result in your site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in such cases is to block the IPs that produce the fake traffic, in order to make certain that the visits to your website are authentic.
