Reply To: To take a swim with the sharks? or not?

The pros and cons of scraping are interesting. If the SE’s do anything about it, it will take a lot of time. Look how long cloaking went on for. And you still occasionally find it.

My opinion? Good guys are getting smart or evil depending on how you look at it. I am seeing the best scraping yet just now coming out. The sites don’t look like scrapers, they look like huge indexes and SEs thinks the same thing and likes them.

What to do guys? I am seeing many of you start your own scraper sites…. this has me a bit worried about taking the moral high ground myself.

I always thought it was about “quality and content” not “compiling content” … but whatever… too much more of this and I’m going to swim with the sharks myself and then its a whole new game again.

Thoughts, opinions?

A scraper really pisses me off I have some of the tools to fix the problem in the most brutal way. Scrapers are nothing but big f-in air heads with freakin grade 2 knowledge about programming. If I find a scraper doing in my site i will chase this little no mind forever. In fact, last month it happenned I had 20,000 site redirected to mine. Just thinking of it makes me feel like hurling. Goes the same for the lame brains who copy content or sites. This is my specialty. If this is not enough scrape my site find out what happens. greek39

I am with Dom on this one!!!!
