Blogs Scraping Content - What to Do

Hammer · 01-10-2008

I've actually used scrapers to create blogs for some of my sites that don't have RSS feeds like most blogs, but since anyone can use a scraper to create a blog from the content of any website, they are obviously abused. The point of scraping is supposed to be to allow people to create feeds for sites they frequent but don't have a feed available. Unfortunately, just like with most things, some people find ways to use things for purposes they were not created for.

One thing you can do is if you identify a scraper, you can filter them by IP with htaccess and send them to a nice bullshit feed. Make one up of nothing but CP erotic stories or something. Let them feed on that for a little while. They will certainly leave you alone after a bit.

To clarify, what I meant to say was that I've used scraping to create feeds from some sites I have that don't already have feeds.
