texte = Just out of curiosity, have you thought of how this will effect the Googlebot spider? This sounds like the classic definition of cloaking to me. You might want to add an extra test in your [include] that looks up the user agent and allows msnbot bingbot, yahoobot, and googlebot to access all the content regardless of your counter. I'm all for zapping competitors taking your info, but don't accidentally zap yourself from Google search in the process. -Matt On 4/22/2014 12:17 PM, Brian Burton wrote: > So here’s a weird situation. > > I have a website in the replacement parts business that has extensive cross reference info on it. It requires a full time employee to maintain the data. A lot of competitors, trying to save a buck, prefer to copy our data rather then do the research themselves. So I developed code that counts the number of page views and after a point cuts off access to the site. As part of an effort to both amuse myself and be “helpful” to competitors that send automated spiders to steal the website, when the cutoff happens I start feeding bogus data as “valid” pages to them. :) This all happens as part of an include file at the top of every page that logs, counts, and issues the redirect to the bogus URL if needed. > > So here’s my next challenge: I don’t want to redirect the bad visitors. The redirect is noticeable, and the new URL gives away that it’s fake data. I want to (via an include file) build up a page of fake data on the URL they requested, and END all further processing on the page of the legitimate stuff that would happen below the include. Building a hideif would be troublesome due to the complexity of the code on all the pages that this would have to happen on. > > Thoughts? suggestions? > > Thanks! > Brian > --------------------------------------------------------- > This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to > the mailing list
