"Bad Behavior is a set of PHP scripts which prevents spambots from accessing your site by analyzing their actual HTTP requests and comparing them to profiles from known spambots. It goes far beyond User-Agent and Referer, however. Bad Behavior is available for several PHP-based software packages, and also can be integrated in seconds into any PHP script."

Im sure some might argue that packaging data , such as news feeds or the blog posts of others is added value. I dont think it is. After all, thats why there are topics and indexes. If I want information about the Dallas Mavericks, I can search for it, optimize it, and save it. Because indexes are based on freshness, my searches are automatically updated, freshest data first, as new posts are introduced. svartling Sat, 20 Aug 2005 13:03:02 GMT http://www.ioerror.us/software/bad-behavior/ Bad Behavior is a set of PHP scripts which prevents spambots from accessing your site by analyzing their actual HTTP requests and comparing them to profiles from known spambots.

This option (off by default) gives bloggers a tool to prevent the automatic creation of comments by nefarious ne'er-do-wells (e.g. spammers). svartling Sat, 20 Aug 2005 09:54:48 GMT http://www.petebevin.com/archives/2005/03/10/firefox_popups.html Like you, I love Firefox for many reasons, including popup blocking. So over the last few weeks I’ve been surprised to see occasional popups. It turns out that some clever people figured out that you could launch popups from Flash, getting around the Firefox default settings. Fortunately, you can get around it: svartling Mon, 15 Aug 2005 17:54:32 GMT http://www.bigbruin.com/reviews05/blockspam/index.php?file=1 Spam is one of those things that nobody wants, but probably has plenty of. If there happens to be anyone out there unfamiliar with spam, we are not talking about the luncheon meat, but the unsolicited, junk e-mail that clogs our inboxes. And in case you are curious, according to some sources, the junk mail version of spam earned its name from a Monty Python skit regarding the luncheon meat of the same name. Care to sing along? svartling Tue, 02 Aug 2005 12:58:35 GMT http://blogging.typepad.com/how_to_blog/2005/07/fighting_trackb.html Once you have a blog that gets any amount of traffic, you will eventually get bombarded by TrackBack spammers (people who send a fake trackback ping to your blog to try to increase links in to their site when their website doesn't even mention your post, your blog, or anything to do with the subject). svartling Sun, 07 Aug 2005 21:30:17 GMT http://www.jetable.org/en/index To avoid spam, jetable.org provides you with a temporary email address. As soon as it is created, all the emails sent to this address are forwarded to your actual email address. Your antispam address will be deactivated after the lifespan you selected comes to its end. svartling Sun, 21 Aug 2005 09:36:50 GMT http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum30/30571.htm It seems like google has purged many scraper sites from the google serps, as per this thread: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum30/30530-2-10.htm I'm sure many people, including myself are very, very pleased about this as it stops scumbag sites from stealing our content. However, it also appears that some non-scraper sites have been included in this purge (including my own). My site has been active for 5 years and is based on unique content. Has anyone else been effected by this, and does google intend to refine the algorithm to stop valid, unique content sites from falling victim? svartling Tue, 02 Aug 2005 15:02:58 GMT
