Anti-Scraping

wildfxp · 08-16-2008, 05:21 PM

I'm looking for a way to stop people from using scripts or programs from scraping my flash game sites.

I was told that there's a way to stop all sites from scraping files by messing with the code a bit and making the script/program scrape nothing at all.

Please and thank you

-Mike

I use this

Quote:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www\.nastysite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.swf http://www.flasharcadegamessite.com/...ip-2-Game.html [R]

nastysite is the site stealing your bandwidth

I have one site that has an alexia rank of 141 stealing my content (the cheeky bugger is here http://iguinho.ig.com.br/jogos.html - look for the pokemon towering legends game)

No foolproof way, but you can make it harder.

But we are talking about scraping, not hijacking.

Hijacking can be stopped.

Quite interesting. I have to give this a huge thought and I may possibly need to ask someone for help. LOL. Things like this confuses a noobie!!!

well for a start you can tell ze robots to stop indexing your flash files from robots.txt

Quote:

Disallow: /resources/
Disallow: /arcade/

or whatever your flash directory is
