Is It Possible To Block A Hitbot?


Ok, so I have this schmuck who has been hitbotting one of my domains for weeks now. I've checked with findtrades.com and two of the domains are confirmed hitbot scum. I completely yanked the traffic trade script a couple of weeks ago, but the empty hits continue.

Tell me how to block this putz! He's fucking up my stats.

Empty hits are coming from:
galleryhome.info
pornstation.info
freesexcenter.info

I love answering my own questions. Just think, if I had googled before I posted, you wouldn't have wasted these last twenty seconds on me.

Very nice page.

I liked it it much that I added a link to it on my personal notes page.

Thanks Useless Warrior

I have been struggling with this exact same thing.

I dropped the trade but the hits kept comming even after a few of my own attempts at blocking with htaccess.

If you have root access to your server just set up a rule in iptables blocking the ip that way they are instantly banned from all of your sites.

Much of my base .htaccess comes from your page.

Cool beans.... Just got a chance to check my trade script and it looks like that did the trick.

Thank again!

I gave your url out to someone a few days ago. I don't know how people make money without at least knowing about your page Cleo. Thanks!

I've heard of people installing a 1X1 pixel link at the top of each page...too small for the human eye and screens dont display it..so the only people hitting it are the bots.


so you cancel anyone who is clicking that 1X1 pixel link
