I was so angry, that I have overestimated my results and mistakenly slashed 65.x IP range where the Google's bot lives. You can imagine what happened to the web site with a PR 6...
The number 6 turned to 0! Our sales stopped completely for 2 months. It took me awhile (many hours of hard work and web site optimization) to get back on track. |
lol I did the same thing and wrote a utility that would redirect the spammer to
Fight Spam on the Internet!
my terrible but maybe somehow they can find the dude who's spamming me. anyways in the end i found out the more ip addresses you block the more there is a chance that you'll block legitimate visitors.
I think I have an idea on how to easily block the spammers...i'll post it if it works.
