boxturt Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I'm beginning to notice a high occurrence of hits from ip addresses that trace back to Google proxies. I'm thinking these must be bad bots and should be banned? I'd be happy to hear what anyone has to say. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Alex Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 If the bad bots are hitting badly on your site, it is advisable to block their access to your site. There are two method that you can reduce the access of bad bots to your account, such as using a robots.txt file or blocking through .htaccess file.

boxturt Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Thanks Alex. I've banned them via htaccess. I'm thinking any "legitimate" source wouldn't be using a google proxy. I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
