hello,

i think i can do the block ip in .htacess, but i don't understand what you mean about "google for "htaccess block ip"

thank you for your help

this is what is already in my .htacess file, should't that ip have been blocked already?

... and is a fresh new (1 month old) IP network (re)allocation. Maybe there is some "Searching-Bot" or "Crawler" behind because this is mostly an indice to be "nocookie". If you don't want nocookie traffic send them to /dev/null or to "gallery" within the Settings/OUT/TrafficURL.

hello friends,

you say "If you don't want nocookie traffic send them to /dev/null or to "gallery" within the Settings/OUT/TrafficURL."

is nocookie traffic the same traffic as the 1000hits in an hour from81.103.100.21 in the nocookie stats? I am confused? is nocookie traffic good? i don't think it would be good to send those phony hits as "Send as
usual traffic". i guess i have both, hit bot cheater hits and normal hits in the nocookie stats. i don't think these hits from these bots should be considered "nocookie traffic" since i think they are not real surfers. please express your comments please.

i need some more advice please. since i have started paying attention to this i have noticed that about every 2-3 days I'm getting a bunch of hits in the "not counted" "and nocookie" stats.

what is the best way to handel this? I have been trying to block with htaccess but i think my list it going to get long, but is that to proper way to handle these hits?

do i do anything at all? they really throw my stats off. is this hurting traffic, in and out? what whould you do?

how the biggest most productive sites you know (i won't mention any sites) handle "nocookie traffic". i trade at box1 100 and box8 70, is this good to grow site with quality traders? many trades require a minimum of 70% production to keep trade alive, that is why i use 100 and 70, what are your feeling about this thinking?

i am sorry for asking so many question, i'm trying to learn the proper ways to manage, tweek and understanding traffic script. learning the proper use of all the features and functions.

once again, thank you for sharing your knowlege
respectfully,
cin


my htaccess. i think these are the hit bots?

sorry for late responce in fact of some holiday time. Don't use to send "nocookie" as normal hits or trading hits. Mostly you will find a lot of search engines like google-bot in nocookie section too. My experiance is that sometimes it can help to send the nocookie to a other own site and from that send it back ... like a circle ... because of most nocookie hits (as I know from my sites) are from search engines. so if you will have like 4 sites you can send it through that 4 sites to get better indexed in the search engines but never on not one site send it out to any other site if it isn't your own one.
