Hi Guys,

I wanted to use this Wordpress plugin to minimize the access of spammers on my site. The plugin is called Bad Behavior.

Any feedback with regards to this if its safe to use?

Thanks in advance....

Thanks Ryan,

Please keep the suggestions coming...  Thanks a lot....

Hi Ryan,

Thanks, I have modified the thread and asked for members if they could review my website which is homeescapade.com

Hi Ryan,

You have been a great help and inspiration to me here at Seomoz.  Thank you for all the valuable answers and insights that you provide.

Is it okay if I ask the great people  here at Seomoz to evaluate my website so that I may do the necessary changes to recover from google panda or site penalty?

Thanks in advance...

My site have significantly went down in google ranking today.  Is there a recent update with regards to google panda?

Also, please help me review my website for possible errors so I may apply the necessary changes for my site to recover.  Here is my url:  http://www.homeescapade.com

Thanks and God Bless

Hi Guys,

Is there something that I need to do to make my blog posts appear in the Blogs Section of Google Trends?

I've noticed that there are blogs whose latest posts appear on the Blog section of Google Trends and would also like my blog to appear there if possible.

Thanks in advance...

Hi Zsolt,

Unfortunately, the scrapers are smart enough to remove the links in the content that they copy.  I don't know how they do it but even though my post has links and the h1 title is also a link, the are able to strip the url off.

Hi Zsolt,

What might be the best solution to prevent the scrapers from stealing my content? Some examples of scrapers of my site are

hownews.info

evidolvi.info

sabedu.info

sabodos.blogspot.com

firraly.info

tvedit.info

and many more...  I have tried blocking these sites in htaccess using both ip and domain name by the following code format:

Block by IP and Domain

order allow,deny
deny from 208.43.239.80
deny from hownews.info

But though such code is already in the htaccess, they can still scrape my content. I know they are getting it from my RSS feed because when I put some code to delay my RSS Feed, they are not able to get my latest posts.

I hope you can help me find out on how to put a stop on this scrapers as they are really hurting my rankings. They even rank higher than my site which is the source of the original content.

Thanks in advance....

Hi Alan,

I think it's now clear to me that they should be rewritten.  Thanks for pointing me to the right direction.

I have a classified site and in my .htaccess I have these rewrite rules by default

RewriteRule ^/?(new)/(1_day)/([0-9]+)/([^./\"'?#]+).html$  index.php?a=11&b=$3&c=65&d=4 [L] ##category newest 1day
RewriteRule ^/?(new)/(1_week)/([0-9]+)/([^./\"'?#]+).html$  index.php?a=11&b=$3&c=65&d=1 [L] ##category newest 1week
RewriteRule ^/?(new)/(2_weeks)/([0-9]+)/([^./\"'?#]+).html$  index.php?a=11&b=$3&c=65&d=2 [L] ##category newest 2weeks
RewriteRule ^/?(new)/(3_weeks)/([0-9]+)/([^./\"'?#]+).html$  index.php?a=11&b=$3&c=65&d=3 [L] ##category newest 3weeks

RewriteRule ^/?(new)/(1_day)/([0-9]+)/([^./\"'?#]+)/([0-9]+).html$  index.php?a=11&b=$3&c=65&d=4&page=$5 [L] ##category newest 1day pages
RewriteRule ^/?(new)/(1_week)/([0-9]+)/([^./\"'?#]+)/([0-9]+).html$  index.php?a=11&b=$3&c=65&d=1&page=$5 [L] ##category newest 1week pages
RewriteRule ^/?(new)/(2_weeks)/([0-9]+)/([^./\"'?#]+)/([0-9]+).html$  index.php?a=11&b=$3&c=65&d=2&page=$5 [L] ##category newest 2weeks pages
RewriteRule ^/?(new)/(3_weeks)/([0-9]+)/([^./\"'?#]+)/([0-9]+).html$  index.php?a=11&b=$3&c=65&d=3&page=$5 [L] ##category newest 3weeks pages

unfortunately, these rules could not handle all URLs of the same format with different variables like the following below

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?a=11&b=15&d=3&c=1

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?a=11&b=15&d=3&c=2

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?a=11&b=16&c=5&d=1

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?a=11&b=16&c=5&d=1&page=2

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?a=11&c=5&d=1&b=230

Any idea on how I can solve this problem to avoid duplicate content?

Thanks in advance...
