Is there any way to avoid page jacking?

As far as I know, there is no protection against a good page jacker. I don't know much though, so I'm hoping someone can give me a tip or two.

I'm no expert but I expect the only precautions you can take are:
1) ban certain known robots from your site; or
2) password protect the pages that you particularly do not want robots to steal (eg. either requiring a login via email confirmation, or having some text displayed as an image that requires the user to type in what they see).

The first is easy but not too effective and the second is obviously not very user (or SE) friendly.

Not much help I'm afraid but the www is, inherently, a public "bare all" environment.

How are they doing it?
If it is into frames then there are several js methods to stop it.
Other methods are not so easy to prevent.

Piskie,

Thanks for your response. I don't currently have a problem. I just want to avoid trouble in the future. After being nailed by sandbox, I'm trying to avoid additional catastrophes.

Anyway, I don't use frames.
