Hi,


I know there is a way to block both these services so people can't find out where my traffic is coming from when they look into my domain. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

As far as I know, it's not possible to block the SW service from covering your domain. Source - used to work there.

Alexia gathers most of their information from users who have the Alexia toolbar installed as far as I'm aware so this would be hard to do. Sure you could block the sites robot using .htaccess or your robots file though.

Blocking via robots.txt or .htaccess will only prevent spidering/crawling, but the data comes from a panel, as you mentioned.
