Had a look over a site which had scrapped some content. Oh and btw I really dislike how WP now automatically installs updates. Does anyone know how to (or if you can), disable automatic updates?
I ask because when it updated, it added a new wp-load.php page which over-wrote my ZB Block include file. Meaning my site was unprotected. And now most of my home page has been scrapped.
I've since gone back in and reinstated ZB Block and also had re-write most of my home page content.
Big thanks to Inspiration for inadvertently pointing the ZB Block issue out.
The site which scrapped me, I checked up on and it was 1'st registered in 2004. My domain was 1'st registered in 2007. I'm not entirely savvy to this but would Google view the 2004 site as being the owner of the content (thinking some strange alog hack)...
The content is 100% mine and written by me. My question though, is about domain age. Just clutching at straws, trying to figure out WHY G would out rank me for my own content, which btw has me as the G+ Publisher and G+ Author.
I don't get how these scrapper sites get ranked high on obviously stolen content... Given the site is G+ Pub and G+ Auth verified.
