    Do any bloggers BAN countries?

    With the constant junk traffic and spam 'user' signups from .pl and .ru etc... has anyone gone so far as to ban those country extensions at the server level?

    I have no interest in those visitors legit or not and has caused nothing but problems.

              I don't block or redirect any countries. I use the geomatic tool at CrakRevenue to monetize them.

                India
                Pakistan
                Egypt
                United Arab Emirates
                Russia
                China

                You're not likely to get significant traffic from other places to make it worthwhile to block.

                  Reciprocate lousy traffic for not so lousy traffic from a toplist.
                  .
                  Approach the mirrored reflection saying his name three times : "Butcher .... Butcher .... Butcher ....."
                  and wait to see if this Bogeyman urban legend manifests in the background, looming over shoulder
                  While your neighbors were busy killing off everyone in the neighborhood
                  with your own butcher knife in hand concealed behind your back
                  you stood for
                  ever before the window saying
                  nothing

                        I don't blog, but I'm giving some serious consideration to blocking India, Egypt, and China altogether.

                        To much coming in from those countries with nothing in return, and I'm tired of banning individual IPs.

                          I ban

                          India
                          Pakistan
                          Egypt
                          China

                          Well redirect them to a sponsor on the off chance of a sale, not made one in the 8 months the ban has been in-place.

                            You could start with all muslim countries plus where porn is banned,kind a pointless to have such traffic.
                            Tho when it comes to ru it is better to redirect to proper sponsor,some of them pays a lot of money per pps on russian traffic.

                                Careful of off site redirects. Google's been cracking down on that lately.

                                  I also have A LOT of this trackback spam shit. especially on one single post, it´s years old. I hate to see that on my stats. I think only 10% of traffic on this project is real, the rest are chinese trackback hits and a lot categorized as "unknown". It´s really annoying.

                                  I already tried to block lots of IP´s via htaccess, with plugins, but somehow it doesn´t work at all and I gave up
