I've set the ia_archive in my robots.txt
Now I need/want to go one step further and block the entire alexa site.

htaccess file is reading like mud to me in order how to figure it out. (complicated as heck for a non-tech like me)

I also want to stop alexa toolbar users. Can this even be done?

thanks

The Alexa Toolbar adds an identifier to the User Agent String, so in .htaccess you can use

Code:
{{{
   SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^Alexa Toolbar" bad_bots
   Deny from env=bad_bots
}}}
It should work, although I know just enough about .htaccess to be dangerous
