I've been going through link data in Google webmaster central and have come across several sites scraping news headlines to generate content and then serving ads. Here are a couple of the sites, if anybody know anything about this I'd appreciate it. http://www.serverhostreview.com/Dancer.htm http://www.openmusicguide.org/artist/groove-master/ They seem to be matching keywords of news articles and presenting the headlines on pages that match those keywords. - how are they doing this? - should I be trying to block them and how should I do this? Sorry I can't give the specific site they're scraping as I don't own it.
yes, if u dont like it than block it. Check your stats and from which your IP you are getting unusual hits ? just block that ip.
this happens a lot on the internet...I don't worry about it unless one of these sites is outranking me for a keyword....which has never happened before...
