RESULTS - Did these modes of security methods work?
Method A - Filtering Unwanted Bots Using Apache1's Training
Results I got from following Apache1's training (https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/how-to-block-referr...)
My Google Analytics no longer showed any unusual spikes in their reports, since June 12. I will keep checking this to ensure that these bots do not create new names.
Method B - My result from using The Bad Bot Blocker in the Word Press AIO SEO
I searced my Google ranking again a few days after and found no more fraudulent uses of my website content. I was quite happy.
My WordPress AIO Bad Bot Blocker also, gave a report on all the blocked bots matching my added custom list:
Method C - My results from using The Secure Copy Content Plugin
I went and opened an incognito page on the browser and opened up my website. I used a short cut for copy (CRTL+C) on my keyboard and then right clicked my mouse, within one of my posts. IT WORKED! It popped up with a notification to tell me I cannot copy the content. I am really stoked!
There you have it, all three security methods should be able to protect your content from unnecessary bot crawls and illegal copying of your content.
I hope that you too, will find these methods helpful.
Please remember to like, comment and share with anyone you know who needs this information.
Thank you,

I am actually banned permanently from Google Adsense and got declined by a few other affiliate programs because I had no idea that people were copying my sites and using them for X-rated adult sites!
Anyway, be very careful and protect your online assets and the best to your success here my friend :)
Now I am nervous to go and check - but it's something that has to be done.
Thank you so much for this share, it truly is so important.
Have you tried showing Google Adsense the evidence of what has happened to turn the permanent ban around? There must be something or someone who can help with changing that. What a harsh penalty. Same with the affiliate programs who have declined you. Perhaps Kyle, Carson, Jay or one of the Ambassadors can assist you with that?
Blessings to you lovely, I truly hope & pray this is turned around for you.

I was hurt when Google AdSense declined me twice. I wrote and explained what I found but they said no. I don't think I will use them anymore, really they should be on to it and blocking these bots from their analytics in the first place. I am at peace now that I know what has been happening. Site support have been as helpful as they can be, but I think these bots are quite a new issue.
Thank you anyway, I hang on because of people like you in WA 😄
