I would like everybody to view this thread as an opportunity to learn something from somebody who is very knowledgable about SEO – Janet.
Never heard of janet in any SEO circle, sorry janet nothing personal. Maybe he/she goes by another name in the SEO world.
I was into SEO long before there was SEO. Just google my nick… I been in there with all the big SEO boys and I don’t agree with Janet, stealing is still stealing no matter how you want to spin it. Stealing a sentence from one of my pages is still stealing… Stealing several sentences and using a script to join them all together is still stealing. You see its the intent… a scraper intends to steal…
I do agree that for most of the sites targeted by this 888 moron will not be effected as they are mostly “trusted” hub sites.
what the scrappers in my mind are doing can be compared right now in the legal system to something like tax planning.
I think Axl’s first post in this thread was right.
