teeceo and scraperrob ..you know tha one about "leading horses to water" ....( least you tried ) ...agreed guys ..it's SEO like any other..all is fair til you get caught ..and it is sssssoo close to Googles own model ..

HughMungus ..precisely ..isn't fair use etc never was ..

When I began at this with a "personal" followed by a "my own business" site I was "moral" and "ethical" and followed the rules supposedly laid down by G ..then I went through "outrage" at the scrapers who did'nt ..then I realised that there are no rules ( G certainly doesn't obey even bot text if they don't feel like it ) and they ( the scrapers ) are just the fastest thinkers on the block ...just a little behind "G" ..

Atticus ..do the math ..by the time your "content site" has made you any thing like real money these guys will be retired and moored in the Bahamas making their change from the Nasdaq ..why should they be interested in long term ..there is always another game ..

Name one time when the "meek" did "actually inherit the earth"..

My only regret now is that it took me so long to get "wise" ..
Scraping is SEO like any other flavour ...
