Irony by Vanessa Fox

A (Google official) blog post about scraped content on a scraper site. [Site is here (www.arsgeek.org/2008/06/11/duplicate-content-due-to-scrapers/), but link removed as the site may now contain malware.]

But the original does rank first.

Although not in blog search.

(But that appears to be because the post isn’t indexed in blogsearch at all. Because rivva.de is listed in its place?

    This is a good one. Nobody is perfect ……

    Just have to live with that.

    hahahaha

    Last night I wrote a new blog post on “PPC advertising – is it worth the cost?” It was really late at night. So I was really happy to see a pingback – something I’m still learning about. Except the screen name of who it was from led me to a scraper site! :-( So much for my short-lived ego boost!

    Yeah . . . see my criticisms on Google’s official post. I couldn’t resist on that one. It’s an ongoing frustration. ;-)

    is it just me or has the scraper site added some malware?

    ugh, has it? I’ll add a warning to the post!
