Is it too late to be added onto this list? I just haven’t had time this week to do it before…
Dominique, I have grabbed the latest list from your site, I hope this is OK.
Here are my pages:
It’s good to see we are getting noticed.
Great.
yes, grab the list, I still update daily.
Your pages will go up today.
I’m glad this thing is working: not only has the list of 888 rogue pages become huge (just noticed this when I got my lazy self updating Fun Bingo Sites 888 rogue-page), but I also love the google search results for “888 casino” :hehe:
I am not sure who’s site this is, but I got quite the kick out of the description for their 888 rogue page:
‘Show you don’t condon illegal marketing techniques, spam and the use of cumware and help us clean up the online gambling industry by not playing at 888.com.’
I really hate cumware :woo-hoo:
Slottips – if this is on other people’s sites as a description, you may want to re-write.
Yeah, cumware can really “mess” up your computer!:la-de-da:
Yeah cumware can get your computer pregnant. I just ran a search for it and holy cow there was a lot of it. It was all over the place the registry folders ect…
Do a search on your system for 888.com, casino on net, pacific poker, most trusted sites, ect… greek39Not a great idea to advertise reciprocation.
I see your point joeyl. But what other means are their, it seems the work being done is having a postive impact, so far. greek39
Get annoyed by other injustices in the industry and start kicking ass just as hard on other issues, gain some momentum, get strong, get tough, get lippy, because we beg no friends, we say it as it is. (not just aff issues).
At the moment 888 bet this flitters away Greek. I would’nt be surprised if 888 got those mentioning reciprocation greyed out in the searches.
I agree 888 does have some counter strikes, I think we are all in this for the long haul. There is much more that can be done but I will leave it for when the time requires more action. I don’t care to mention how they could counter stike, but we have our own ways of dealing with it.
This goes far beyond being an affiliate issue. Its just not webmasters who are pissed off, A lot of people behind the curtains are watching this. Most are very pissed at 888.
For me at the moment I leave the issue alone and see where it goes, hopefully in a positive direction. I think the CEO for 888 has been replaced, their player base is dropping, stocks price is falling all good signs.
The ultimate wipe out has not been applied yet in the hopes 888 will practice good business ethics. So I stand by a wait, patiently. greek39

This should all take are of itself shortly, I hope.
All we want is an ethical place to work.
I wish 888 well, I have no personal grudge and I believe that every program can redeem themselves.
Just fix the problem and all can be well again.
The trouble is that the longer they wait, the more damage is being done now – by their own scraper sites at this point.
Beyond continuing to link to like pages on my rogue page, I am done until I get back from Miami.
I have offered several times to talk this out. Why is 888 not responding and settling things amicably? I do not want any wars, I want to get back to running my bussiness and letting 888 run theirs.
888, I’ll be in Vegas and then in Miami next week. I am perfectly willing to talk this out, always have been. You know how to contact me I am sure. Just how far do you want this to go? Do you really think a scraper program can outsmart a real thinking person? How about dozens of thinking people who know SEO? I don’t think so.
Don’t you know that once we concentrate on keywords other than blacklist and rogue and 888 we will saturate the engines and your own scraper sites will give you the final blow?
If you want to keep on scraping, your programs need fixing. So we can move on and find more vulnerabilities. At least keep it interesting if you are going to force us to spend our time on advanced SEO techniques.
Most people know my attitude towards 888, however I’ve also been thinking about what happen if & when 888 pull their finger out and takes action over this issue, what next.
I know from first had experience what it’s like to have my (untold hours of work) content scraped.
I’ve been thinking about personally contacting the software companies who make & sell scraping apps. There must be some way to prevent rogue webmasters scraping site content that does not belong to them. My thought would be either a simple text file (like alexa) or an inclusion to the standard robots.txt or a coded html page (like google site maps) which would prevent scraper software from touching the content.
Obviouslly it would be something that would require it to be coded into the software itself, but it’s a acheivable.
I’m just thinking of the long term here…Any suggestions are welcome.
There is definitely also a business opportunity for a coder.
Must be possible to prevent being scraped, and many of us would pay a reasonable fee for such a program. An easy to apply one, one that doesn’t require any coding knowledge whatsoever.
The only way I can think of is to write in Flash. However, you have to remember, that if you write so that the scraping tools cannot see your HTML – then neither can the search engines.
Likely, you would drop right out of the SERPS entirely doing something like that
All code engines are there to supply browsers with HTML compatible code. If they do not, then nothing is viewable. If they DO supply it correctly, then a scraper can scrape.
Hope I made that sound right.
You did, even I get it.
Be good to find a way to distinguish a scraper from a normal spider…
