Maybe you could put a small copyscape banner on your site. Not that it will make a difference, but it might be a deterrent. Most people steal content thinking that they will never be found. If they think you activily monitor your content, they might think twice.

NIce find, Ponomo, thanks.

The problem is, Copyscape actually only found one instance of plagiarism… because its algorithm is not sensitive enough… LOL…

I use keyphrases from my work to detect plagiarism – it’s actually a very easy task, though a bit time consuming.

Hi Spear.

I hope you get them for all the times that others have not.

just curious;

do NOT spider my site

can you explain this a bit. I mean I know what spidering is; but I am unaware of why or how it can be a bad thing?

thanks Bud.

Two people have already responded and are in the process of removing the reviews… good for them!

3-4 others I have yet to hear from. We shall see.

As for not spidering my site – the short answer to that is:

1. Unless you are Google or Yahoo, you shouldn’t be spidering me.
2. Most of these “spiders” are actually “site grabbers” – that’s how my content shows up elsewhere.
3. You eat up my bandwidth for no good reason. You also overload my servers with activity which is unwanted.

Not specifically you, LOL… just talking to the “yous” who are reading this and are actually spidering my site.

Let’s put it bluntly… if I see an excess of activity which cannot be attributed to a known bot, and is clearly not human, that visitor gets banned. Masquerading as a real bot won’t work either.

I link to got2bet.

I have a blog with 3000 outbounds.

So I run a dead link check by XENU

Is this technically spudering your site Spear?

[Anonymous]

good question.

…….

so Spear, if I see someone,…. or something, that has spent an extremely large amount of time on my site; is that an indicator of being “spidered”?

I’d never heard of this before; I mean except for the SEs doing it.

and I know you didn’t mean me. I’ve got way too big a mouth to ever be accused of stealing someone else’s writing. lol in fact, I’ve started putting my text on graphics so as to not have pages that are so big and contrary to what some have said to expect; I’m getting more traffic now that I have less text on my pages than I did when there was more.

but before everybody runs out and starts doing the above; they might consider how long most of my posts are – in comparison to others…. and they may decide to leave things the way they are.

If Xenu were to crawl every page of Got2Bet, then yes. If you are running Xenu from your site, it checks your links and subsequently comes to Got2bet and hits the page it’s supposed to, then no.

You would have no reason to ask Xenu to check every page on Got2Bet for a single link – unless you were looking for a linkback, in which case Xenu should be checking a single page.

Large amount of time is not necessarily a problem – there will be people that go to your site, see a few articles that interest them, and spend perhaps hours reading all the other articles.

This, in fact, is what you want to encourage, by all means.

The issue I am talking about is when a spider, or something which purports to be a spider, comes, doesn’t properly identify itself, and proceeds to hit hundreds of pages in a few seconds. That is either a spider, or a site grabber.

You may be getting more traffic – but is that traffic human? Google spiders images, maybe more people are looking to steal graphics?

Graphics are the #1 reason for slow page loads, and will always increase the size of the page more than text ever will. Plus Google will never know the content which should have been represented as text – and in most cases this will not help your SERPs.

mmm, all I can say is I have #1 for a couple of spots that I didn’t have before, and they were pages with less of my blab on them than usual.

So I started putting some of my sales pitch on graphics, and they actually don’t load all that much slower, each one adds about 1 sec – according to my frontpage – to more mimic the pages I am having success with for getting free traffic.

so far I’m pleased with my results but keep in mind I’m not a SEO person either so any kind of plus is a good one for me.

I’m not arguing anything you said; just stating what seems to be working better for me.

…. It occurs to me that part of the reason this is working for me is that I often have more text on a page selling a casino, or my site, or both, than I do text that is actually targeting a keyword or phrase.

so it was maybe diluting things towards a negative in the eyes of the SEs with all that irrelavent text …. that’s my best guess.

Would the webmasters of the following sites please contact me:

casinosafelist.com
onlinecasinohelper.com
best-online-secure-casinos.com
venetianonlinecasino.com

If you know any of these sites or their webmasters, please let them know that this is the last chance they have to respond to my email before I take further action.

TIA.

Spammers also spider your website for email addresses. Gotta love them

I doubt that they are spidering your site in order to steal your content. They’re probably just going to your website and stealing the content from there.

Spiders are programs that are told to go to your website and collect specified information from your website and I haven’t heard of anyone programming one to steal entire chunks of content.

That’s almost impossible considering that you don’t have a format on your website that states “Article begins here” and “Article ends here”. Without that, the spider would grab your entire page.

Post #2…

Graphics do increase webpage load times significantly.

Chances are your extra traffic is coming from you just being online for a longer amount of time.

The search engine will sider your site and will see “IMAGE”. It will completely ignore that image unless you have an alt attribute explaining what the image is.

[Anonymous]

I class site grabbers as spiders. A more accurate term would be “bots”. Email siphons also fall into this category.

So, to resummarize: unrecognized bots coming to the site will be banned.
