Thanks all for the suggestions.
@ tedster:
How about including the disclaimer in an iframe?
I am not sure if I have the technical skills to do it. It's part of a CMS system and I am not really sure how much of the template I will have to hack away and put into the iframe.
But the more important question is whether google is still NOT indexing content in an iframe.
@ netmeg:
Can't you just make one disclaimer and put a link to it on every page? That's what I do with my republishing stuff.
Yeah, but you are forgetting that you actually know what you are doing, while I, on the other hand, am clueless :)
In all seriousness, I could probably put SOME of it in a popup window. Because I ask them to copy and paste the copyright notice / rights reserved code along with the code for hotlinking the image, I kind of have them "bundled" together. I guess I will have to see about separating them.
But from a "visual" standpoint, putting all the code in a popup would be preferable, now that I think about it.
@ Ken_b:
I use an image (gif) to put a disclaimer on a bunch of my pages.
That might work for the disclaimer part. I think I am going to have to separate the disclaimer from the hotlinking code (which is dynamic).
BTW: If they DON'T use my copyright notice that has a link to my site, and just hotlink to my image, does google consider that a "link" and give it any value in terms of Page Rank?
