Any idea to ban competitors

[paul]

Do you have an idea how to ban my competitors from accessing my site?

[Peter]

It's a very broad question...i don't think this is possible, your site can be accessed by anyone from anywhere in the world anytime so blocking a particular IP range is not gonna help. If it is indeed possible then even I would be interested in knowing how...

[paul]

Thanks for response, I hope so.

I'd agree with Peter - unless they always have the same IP you're probably stuffed. What are tey doing on your site that you'd need to ban them?

Best way to ban your competitors is to follow agressive marketing, high quality support. Good relationship and regular communication with customers and honestyin your work

Other ways of competition wont lead you anywhere in long run.

Unless you're worried about your competitors linking to you - if they consistently foloow a link from the same Web site you can shaft tem using http referrer and a php script.

Well said! Really competition keeps us always on our toes, its always a learning tasks and getting the highest mark that needs to be balanced instead of banning them.
