I want to block ALL my traffic from out side the UK. Can this be done? Will it affect serps - my client can only sell to UK.

You can use an IP address database, which is not infallible but works reasonably well. Just don't forget that search engine bots (Google, Yahoo, etc.) al come from US-registered IP addresses, so you will need to whitelist their IPs otherwise your site will rapidly drop out of the indexes. :)

Using Google Analytics i think I have tracked down the spammer I am trying to stop - from India. Basically all I need to do is block all traffic from India - can i do this without a master's degree? :)

Or...could I deliver a specific page to this country - ie - from india they get redirected to a page that says - F*ck off!
