hi all,
I am fed up with scrapper sites, they copied my articles and rank obove me, so I would like to put articles on image using php image creator, so I would like to know pros and cons of doing that.

Thanks in advance

The most obvious cons are that a whole article made into an image will can take a long time for the visitor to download; a lot of your bandwidth; a lot of processing power for the server to create it on the fly.

Plus Google won't be able to read your page at all, so you'll rank nowhere.

Unless you add a huge alt attribute to the image, in which case scrapers will be able to read your site too.

Any measure that I can think of to keep scrapers out would probably keep search engine spiders out, too. :(
