Lovely Surprize from My Favorite Googlers

Holy smokes!

Today I received this lovely card from the Googlers who comprise the Search Quality Team.

I am so moved!

Thanks, everybody! Love you all. You are just awesomely wonderful!

Kill these proxy sites

Proxy Scraper Sites to Respider and Kill!

Why, you ask?

Just because they have been scraping my website AND let it get indexed.

So now that I've taken the trouble to identify this scum - let them croak. The sooner, the better.

Now you have to fight fire with fire. They got indexed with my content Ok, but they don't truly show up in a search except as omitted results.

Not that I have come up with a better way to identify what makes a scraper proxy, I am serving a special page to them.

I want this special page to be the one they get indexed with - so they can drop off the index for any of my content.

Not asking too much, am I?

So I've got a list of proxy scraper sites to kill.

There, let robots go and have their go at them. I've done my part.
