Hi there, I started my site not too long ago and I am using wordpress. I have the plugin Statpress installed along with other traffic analyzers. I check Statpress pretty often and I see sometimes multiple IP's loading most of the pages on my site. Just today, one IP loaded about 10 pages with a second of each other. Is there any reason for this? I do have a bunch of plugins that are supposed to stop bots and I have been banning IP's, I just don't know if I'm banning for the right or wrong reasons. Any information would be appreciated, thank you.
Hello, MrWoot09. Welcome to this forum. You should think carefully why you would ban robots from your blog. Generally they are a useful thing because they contribute to make it known by the search engines. Search engines work by sending robot programs that travel all over the Web looking for websites with interesting contents. If you are just beginning your blog, you should study carefully its traffic to see where it comes from, but I would not advise to begin so soon to restrict the access to it. Also, don't load the blog with plugins until you know exactly what is each one for, and which is its utility in your case. Good luck.
