Are Those Nasty iframing Sites, Stealing Your Content?
- You can put a stop to those iframers from steaking your blog content -
Blogging is a business, and most professionals put a lot of work into it. After a year or two, you should be getting into your groove and gaining popularity. However, if you are one that watches their web stats, you could easily find out that someone is stealing your content and then framing it. Basically, they're put your content inside of an iframe, so it is your blog post within a page located on their site. The difference is, that the header contains their URL address and their ads placed on top of it. It is the bottom feeder's choice of making a few dollars at your expense!This practice has been around for a long time. However, you can actually do something about it! It just takes a few minutes to stop iframers in their tracks. Furthermore, it's your content and you have the right to protect it!
There have been quite a few discussions on the topic. Some people believe that it is a backlink from another site and that the search engines will be able to tell that the iframe is the site that has the duplicate content. However, for me, it is the principle of the whole thing. It is my content, they didn't ask permission to publish my content, and I don't take kindly to the thief. As I have said before on this blog, people who do this type of stuff, are blood suckers, leaches, basically bottom feeders!
If you are like me, you probably don't even want to risk the chance of your own content getting flagged as duplicate content, lose search engine rankings, etc. No matter which way you look at it, stealing your content and iframing it, is unethical! Furthermore, why would anyone allow it?
As I said, there is a very simple solution to stop iframers. It is a small piece of a snippet of code that you put into the header section of your web page. This code will instruct your site to verify that it isn't inside of an iframe, and break away from the iframe when it is detected. It will then return to its full page view, stopping the content thief in their tracks.
Here is the code to copy and paste into your head section:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
if (window!= top) top.location.href = location.href;
</script>Make sure that the snippet is put between the <head> and </head> tag in your header.php file for WordPress.
