Plusmo is scraping my content!

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

This week I’m ticked off I have been checking my stats to see how well my website is doing, and I came across plusmo they offer a service to alert your cell phone about RSS updates, okay this service is a good idea but the part that just gets me really wound up is they use your content to promote their website instead of giving your keywords by using your title as a link back they have a stupid little read more link.

But if you don’t want them to scrape your content you have to write a 10 page essay on why it is your site and tonnes of proof, I’m sorry but I shouldn’t have to do this for some dumb ass company stealing my content for their one use.

They could at least be nice and not allow any search engines to visit their site but no, instead of that they use it to their advantage okay maybe I’m being hard on them they do only use a limited amount of words!

So here is what I will be doing, I’m going to be scanning my logs to see what this bot is called then making a plugin for wordpress to use this bot to your advantage, allowing you to show them what you want use their cheating service to your advantage.

If anyone knows how to detect them I would love to hear how, would save me looking through logs.

The reason I am doing this if you haven’t caught on is that Google do not like duplicated content the links coming back will not do my site any good.
