AHrefs.com is a website that collects backlinks data all over the Internet. SEO optimization companies pay for that data to allow enhancement of their clients' websites.The problem is if your web server is slow, like most smaller websites, your website goes down every time your server gets spidered by their Ahrefsrobot tool. I followed their instructions from their website weeks ago to remove them from spidering our website, but the practice continues. They spider our website, so quickly, that it knocks our website down for an hour at a time. We were knocked out of service twice yesterday and once this morning. Our server has been running slow all day, due to their access of our site, what seems to be on purpose. We have been unable to stop them and were forced to contact Level 3, and other top level ISPs to help us.Because of their actions and failure to obey our terms of service and their own posted rules, I urge everyone to NOT use their services and boycott that company.I am speaking with legal staff today to commence litigation against them and any ISP that allows them access to our servers.I urge all website owners to do the same.
