It’s clear there are strong arguments for and against scraping......

- Environment in Business, a Lexis Nexis specialist B2B publication The problem = need to drive relevant traffic to drive subscriptions
- Use absolute URLs in your links.Include the full path (http://www.yoursite.com/page.php) instead of relative URLs (/page.php). Use internal linking strategically.In the first couple paragraphs of your content try to find a place where it makes sense, and link to another page of your site using relevant anchor text similar to keywords you want to rank for. Make sure each content headline is a link.Turn the headline of the web page into a link to that page. Add copyright notice and a link to your site in the RSS feed.Most website scrapers just use your RSS feed to scrape content. They won’t realise that when they post the contents of your feed to their own site, they will be giving you a link with keywords in the anchor text, along with information saying the copyright for the content belongs to you and your site.
