Hello People... I'm building a website for my friend's business... It's only basic HTML with a contact (php mail) form in one of the pages... He wants me to encrypt the webpages (ensuring no copy paste stuff)... But, I guess that this could hit the Search Engine Indexing (or SEO) of his website badly... Is there a software that can encrypt webpages while not troubling indexing? Is there any other way I can do this? I'm using Dreamweaver 8 to design the site... Please post your views and thoughts... Thanks & Regards
You cannot "encrypt" the source of the web page, how else will the web browser render the HTML if it cannot read it or atleast have the "string" to decrypt the code? You can encrypt backend scripts so people can't alter or copy them, but when it comes to actual public HTML documents they must render proper HTML to be able to actually render the page. You can just copy and paste directly from the browser if anything to duplicate the content, there are some methods to deter people from viewing a documents source, but there is no 100% way to do it. So, you have to tell your friend there isn't much you can do to "encrypt" your web pages for the simple fact the web browser needs the proper HTML code to render the web page.
Well, I tested 3 software programs that did encrypt the source code and the webpage showed up just as needed... My only concern is locking the page + SE Indexing... How would I go about doing that? -------------------- I just checked a website that develops and promotes such a software, and one of the listed features is: While I do like the feature, I'd like to know if only meta tags and meta description tags (which I assume are not a part of the HEAD and/or BODY section, because I don't really know a good bit about SEO) could help index in SEs and enhance the SEO process later on... Please help me with this...
Ok... I got the software and worked my way around it... It seems to do a pretty good job... The link I've put up the site's homepage is www.sangampackers.com ... I use IE and FF for testing my work... In IE, one can download the header image (the big one) thanks to the mouseover save picture as shortcut that comes up above the top left corner of the image... But that apart, one can't really copy the text (unless viewing the Page Source) or any other content at all... Even PrintScreen doesn't work (because as long as the website is open on your computer, your Windows clipboard is blocked)... Also, caching is disabled... It, however, claims to protect the images by rendering them through a server side php page... But, that couldn't save my header from being downloaded (as I mentioned just above)... In order to ensure that this doesn't hamper the SE indexing and SEO of the website, I left the content and meta tags and description tags untouched... What's your take on it now? I mean, on how my website will perform and/or rank in the Search Engines... Thanks for your help in advance... --------- Oh, and by the way, if you would please be so kind enough to see the website both in FF and IE, you'll notice that IE renders the site as was designed... FF pushes the images and content below, thereby creating empty white spaces (above the big header and below the buttons)... Is there something I'm doing wrong or can do right to fix that?
Completely useless, i have your whole source in plain HTML and if someone wants your stuff they will take it. For example here is one of your images, i'll delete it from the server once you've had a look. http://www.dlls.info/noname.gif I won't paste your whole pages source code, but this should suffice considering your page isn't cached and the only way i could obtain this is if i had your source code in front of me which i do. So if you paid money for that i'd get a refund.
Ok... I've seen it and have communicated it to my friend... He'd like to know how you got the source code though... Did you use a decryptor or something? Hmmm... Well, I'm doing it myself, and I hardly know anything about SEO... Where can I find help for writing good description tags?
No i didnt mean a refund for your SEO work i meant for the encryption program. To get round it in a basic way just disable Javascript in your browser and you can just right click and save as with your images. But i can also run a simple script against your page and replicate it exactly in about a minute then FTP it online and have a replica of your site. Just removed your image also.
Oh ok... That helps... Do you know of a software that locks regardless of moving through FTP or JavaScript On/Off feature? Also, what would make for a good description tag? You really like it? Thanks...
Nope you can forget about encrypting your output source code, nothing will work and it generally just annoys people they cant use legitimate right click functions like pasting text in your contact form, printing your page etc. Just set a Google alert for some unique text on your page, and if someone copies it send a DMCA Takedown and protect your content this way.
