Did you notice that scraper sites / blog / forum growing so fast and constantly amaze us with their new techniques? It’s obvious that most of these kinds of sites are Made For Adsense.
But now, thanks to Google very own Google Blog Search and Live Search, not only these irresponsible people and scrapers are scraping your site / blog content but also your visitors comment since both search result provided by Google Blog Search and Live Search support RSS feed.
For example, replace SOME_STRING below with your own search query:
http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?hl=en&q=SOME_STRING&num=10&output=rss http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=SOME_STRING&format=rss
Genius indeed. But wait till you encounter a MFA sites that uses JavaScript to cover their content underneath the ads.
As a result, the scraped content only visible to search engines robots since it couldn’t interpret JavaScript. Therefore, normal user using modern browser only see the JavaScript ads but not the scrapped content. This gives an advantage to exploit both search engines robots and end users. Face the fact that they make thousands of dollars out of you and you didn’t even know about it.
My advice is, try spending some time to check whether if someone illegally grabbing your content for profit without permission.
