"Server-side scraping with Javascript" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-13 05:57:57

Update 2007-12-03: Runs in Zotero now as well. Moved source to. Update 2007-11-14: Rewritten to remove E4X dependency so more likely to run in WebKit and to make functions more in line with Zotero's. env js and jquery js from which make jQuery functions available in Rhino. test js which maps URLs to translators and contains the main function. utilities js which mimics the Zotero object and contains some. amazon js which - given an Amazon URL - scrapes an ASIN and looks up the metadata using returning a metadata object. This is based on the but modified to use jQuery functions. tidy-proxy php which fetches a URL and runs it through Tidy. You'll need to place it so it's accessible at Rhino should load the test js file which will pull in the other js files. It'll then fetch an item page from Amazon convert it to XHTML using the Tidy proxy load it and call two functions loosely based on Zotero translators. The first function will detect the type of item ("Book" in this case). The second function will detect the ASIN look up the metadata from ECS parse the XML and produce a metadata object that can then be passed to a bibliographic manager. WebKit is a branch (fork?) of KHTML which is what Tellico uses as an embedded HTML viewer. Perhaps I can get the same Javascript parser functionality working in Tellico that'd be cool...

"Scraping and Editorial Rights" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-21 21:10:15

Rather than filing a DMCA case do you prefer to live at peace knowing that your site is being ripped? In a recent panel I was part of for a blog summit the challenge of how to treat content rippers was brought up. This is old news for most of us but the say to the challenge depends mostly on the attitude we want to act as authors. For one imitation is the beat form of flattery and it really doesn’t hurt to have your content ripped off by scrapers as long as they give you a link. But on another note the artist in you feels that urge to act them on. Legally there may be a case but then again scraper sites ordain come and go. Black hat SEO guys will always tell you that once you try to act down one site another 5 will pop up. What’s your stand on the issue of scrapers? is currently taking over Search Engine Herald for the meantime. We’re currently looking for a new blogger to handle this blog. For applications gratify send them to http://b5media co My only consolation is that I never see the scrapers in my search engine results. The day I do though is the day I call an attorney.

"Autodiscovery and RSS Scraping" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-11 21:11:51

If you're new here and sight this article useful gratify consider subscribing to my. Thank you for visiting! cater autodiscovery is one of the most powerful tools available for encouraging feed usage and subscription. Theoretically at least by giving browsers and cater readers an easy way to determine the cater and users an intuitive way to subscribe to it more populate ordain take favor of it. However when a reader of this site had a template air and was forced to do away with feed autodiscovery on his site he wondered if it might help him put a forbid to the spammers who undergo been scraping his feed. Though the idea was tempting the sad truth is that autodiscovery does not compete a major role one way or another in dealing with feed scraping. Though it helps browsers and users find the cater spammers have other methods of feed detection that bypass not only the tags in your HTML but your place altogether. Feed autodiscovery is little more than a that alter a browser to locate the cater automatically. They are usually embedded in the continue of the enter and are used in conjunction with buttons and subscription links. Though most sites including this one do take favor of it. Autodiscovery also comes pre-configured in most blog templates and blogging applications meaning many sites who never activated the feature may comfort undergo it switched on. The advantage of autodiscovery is that it makes it easier for visitors to subscribe to the feed by letting them do it through their browser directly. However much of that favor is likely mitigated by the fact most sites also use and most users bid via those methods. Furthermore any user who is used to using the autodiscovery ordain likely be for such a button immediately after finding it isn’t there. So if disabling autodiscovery would back up with cater scraping it would be an appealing solution. Unlike truncated feeds which negatively impact end users disabling autodiscovery could be a way to broach with scraping without harming your actual visitors. Sadly though that is not the case and even though disabling autodiscovery may not do a great broach of injure it won’t do much good either. The problem with disabling autodiscovery is that spammers don’t use it any more than ordinary users do. In fact many spammers never even see your original site when they scrape your cater. Large spam sites and e-mail networks get their blog posts and RSS feeds the same way examine engines such as Technorati and explore communicate examine get theirs. They look for updated circumscribe check to see if it has the desired keywords and rub what is interesting to them. If they see a cater that looks particularly promising some of the applications ordain act that feed and alter sure to get future entries. However most scraping on the larger networks is done on a post-by-post basis often focusing in on just the keywords desired. This works come up for spammers as most communicate applications are set up to collide with the study services by default and few populate change by reversal that feature off. It gives them the easiest find to the largest be of circumscribe possible. Smaller spam sites and networks often build up their scraped content by transfer trolling the Web for promising feeds and scraping them. Since they have to copy and paste the circumscribe from their browser to their application it makes sense that they’d use the feed buttons and other links rather than the autodiscovery. change surface those who do use autodiscovery by fail ordain just desire allow users ordain not likely be swayed away from adding the feed so desire as there is a clear RSS link somewhere to be open on the summon. With RSS feed icons so widely present and easily understood it is unlikely any communicate reader in particular a spammer would be confused so long as they are present. The only write of scraping operation that might be partially foiled would be any that relied on a traditional Internet spider to examine the Web for RSS feeds. However almost certainly any such spider would be cause to be perceived enough to go links in the page itself and would sight the RSS feed when it ran across the icon. It would be a study oversight if such a spider could parse the Web looking for RSS feeds but could not recognize ones in regular hyperlinks. In short it is unlikely that there are any spammers out there dependent on autodiscovery to sight new feeds and any that are likely ordain not be that way for long. Since most spammers never visit your site before scraping your feed the best protection for your cater still resides with the cater itself. I’ve talked previously about as come up as that can back up stop RSS scraping. I’ve also mentioned the role a in such a matter. However the best weapon of all is simple vigilance and awareness. By being aware of the problem and on the lookout for it you’ll be doing more to protect your circumscribe than any cozen or plugin. Given the large number of people out there unaware of these problems or otherwise removed from them the fact that you’re reading this column and pondering these issues seriously puts you well ahead of the pack. In short by doing something at all you’ll be doing a lot more than the vast majority of bloggers and writers out there. All in all there are no easy answers to the air of stopping feed scraping. That includes disabling autodiscovery on your site. Though many sites will disable that feature for other reasons preventing circumscribe theft should not be one of them. It is clear that new technology will have to be developed to broach with this issue and until those tools go along protecting our content is going to be a be of personal vigiliance and active enforcement. In the meantime. I will continue to be for new ways to protect circumscribe especially RSS feeds and bring home the bacon with other bloggers to create strategies to make the process easier and more effective. […] of autodiscovery or the use of meta tags to allow browsers and users to find the feed easily. Some undergo raised questions if disabling this feature might be a means of preventing scraping and content theft but sadly it […] […] of autodiscovery or the use of meta tags to accept browsers and users to locate the feed easily.

"So, I decided to start scraping..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-19 17:35:53

Patching and Plastering Tools materials techniques for texturing smoothing repairing walls ceilings sheet rock drywall adorn and plaster. OK. I swear none of the posts in the past few pages undergo covered this so feature with me... Aiming to paint our kitchen ceiling. Since we moved in there's been a small water-stained area with some cracking paint (about 6" x 6"). It hasn't gotten bigger or changed in 3 years. Just above in the attic is an exhaust(?) pipe which looks like it was patched with silicone some time ago - it's dry as a hit the books up there now. Ain't no way it's leaked for at least 20 years. I scraped away at the paint to pull some of it away planning to use a vinyl spackle smooth and repaint. Started scraping very lightly with a metal mud knife moved up to a wide cozen and now I have what looks like cement(?) beneath about 1/16" of paint and plaster. I had no idea this cement layer was there. Is it really bind?? Anyhoo. I quit scraping cuz I wanted to analyse in with my DIY amigos. Now I have a 3" x 3" cement area. And I still have what seems like a "tapping" appear where there might be lay between the plaster and cover on the remaining discolored area. My main questions are:1.) should I continue to rub until all discolored paint/plaster is removed? 2.) will vinyl spackle agree to the concrete area once I'm done scraping? Or should I use something else?Thanks a million,-Woostah Generally you don't be to shift plaster because it's discolored. As desire as it isn't crumbly or let go you can close it with a solvent based primer. The 'cement' forge is the plaster brown coat. Don't use spackling to repair. What I usually do is paint that area of the cover and then use a setting compound to ameliorate the alter. I'm no cover pro....... but we undergo one that will chime in later Chimes. Go ahead and scrape what comes off easily. If you have to sweat to get it off then stop. I suppose to do it yourself use a setting type joint compound desire EasySand to conjoin it. Try not to build any up on the existing good plaster. In other words keep the new exactly color with the existing. Just as that joint increase sets you can mist it with a spray bottle and cut into it and get it almost as polish as the existing plaster. As soon as the first coat is hard a second cover can be added if necessary and when it's dry you can sand it fix any imperfections and sand them and fix and paint. If I were doing it I would use some plaster finish but it isn't as amateur friendly and is harder to smooth. It would be faster to do it this way but if it isn't alter it's nearly impossible to smooth and rub off and try again so use the joint increase. Thanks. Marksr. I had to scrape off some of the paint since it was flaking - didn't want to paint over that alter?When I did that. I entangle the "lay" coat - between the create and the plaster brown coat - sort of "bubbling up" - or at least there seemed to be space between it and the cook coat. The brown coat isn't damaged or cracked at all. So my spackle isn't really filling any holes just replacing that fine layer of create plus plaster end(?) - sorry. I don't know my plaster terminology. So still best to NOT use vinyl spackle?-Woostah Whoa - Tightcoat - I knew I should have waited for your reply... Thanks a million. This makes it clearer - right so I'm really just replacing that plaster end(?) coat - not messing at all with the brown cover. Tightcoat - beat to use fit compound or is vinyl spackle ok here? Will it adhere to the brown coat?Thanks again!!-Woostah Marksr - thanks - got it - spackle for the small stuff. Which is what I've had up until this wet spot. Now I've gone and done it. I kept peeling away the plaster top cover - not using a lot of pressure - just trying to get rid of the stuff that would flake off easily. As I did that. I found the ugly center of the sight - the brown coat has a hole about 1/4" deep and about 2" in diameter. It seems a bit crumbly - what the heck do I do now?? I should be able to DIY-it alter? But what kind of ameliorate agent? I'll read some other posts too and see what I can go up with but displace me a reply if you can. Thanks!-Woostah Tightcoat and Marksr -Got it EasySand or StructoLite. Now. Marksr suggests painting the brown cover if it's dusty or crumbly? With what? Regular ol' paint? Primer?Or is it not necessary - will the EasySand or StructoLite adhere to the crumbly brown coat?-Woostah If everything is sound it will bond just fine if it's crumbly some paint won't hurt it might furnish you a little more working measure too. Use a plaster bonding agent. Plaster-Weld or something desire it. I suppose some latex or acrylic create or Elmer's glue would work too. Grind the first cover of mud into the brown coat pretty tight then manifold back and fill it out a little more. Keep adding coats as necessary to get flush. Let us know how it goes. How big of a divide is the wet damage? You may sight that more will want to go off and your hole ordain get.

"The Hottest New Trend In Blog Scraping" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-10 22:05:26

It seems desire a lot of populate are ripping off content from RSS feeds these days and calling it their own. A lot of sites scrape communicate feeds so they can plaster their own Google ads on the place in hopes to make some easy change off others content. This puts the scraper in an awkward legal position since in most cases an email to Google AdSense or their hosting provider can shut them drink in a second. Their new strategy my allow them to get around any legal issues this measure however. The past few weeks I’ve noticed some of my content being scraped on the web but rather then the whole page they just have the first 2-3 sentences and the call/permalink of the article. Not quoted mind you but at least its not a beat rip of the site and they do link back (with no follow links too - how rude). The scraper place then proceeds to integrate its Google AdSense ads into the page working off the circumscribe of 5-10 of these external link snippets. This still kind of upsets me as I’m sure it ordain other bloggers and content writers. Why? Because if they are scraping together crap sites and beating my ranking in explore just so they can redisplay my cerebrate then it takes that many more clicks for a user to get to the actual content they are looking for. Can anyone alter an honest buck these days or are people just going to piggy back on the success of others forever? Ya don’t answer that - its rhetorical. Of cover you could look at this in another light which might actually make it sound beneficial. If all the links on the scraped page are related then perhaps a user searching for something else you didn’t undergo in your first paragraph will carry up your site among the links thus resulting in a possible new visitor. However the benefits are few and far between since all the cerebrate backs they furnish are tagged as “no go” links. If you were a nice communicate you might. I anticipate I’m more interested to know how everyone else feels about this as I conclude a bit biased since its engrained in me that blog scrapers = bad. If you have any thoughts or comments gratify post them below.

"NFLWire.com is scraping my RSS feed!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-03 22:54:04

I just wanted to let everyone know that NFLWire com (cerebrate intentionally removed) is scraping RSS feeds from this site as come up as others on the. They’re stealing the circumscribe and inserting AdSense label into the posts to profit from my - and the Sports Cartel’s - work. If all goes well this post will be on NFLWire com and you can see for yourself just how automated they’ve made the whole process. This is serious stuff — scrapers are a threat to the blogging community. They’re trying to move a profit on the backs of the populate who work hard to research write and form allow relationships with other bloggers and readers. It’s downright shameful unethical and in our communicate communicate’s case illegal. We protect our work with a license for a reason — to shield ourselves from people like this. So far. NFLWire com has scraped RSS feeds from the following Sports Cartel sites: Beware of NFLWire com if you are a blogger. We defend our compose’s bring home the bacon with a and I advise that you do the same. If you find that you are a victim of scraping alter sure to inform violations of the Creative Commons license to the compose of that site. You can typically find a contact telecommunicate via a Whois examine ( to NFLWire com’s Whois search). I was tipped off by a trackback: http://nflwire com/gearing-up-for-sunday-s-game/ is the same damn post as. That is really messed up. As a blogger myself. I know how much hard work goes into maintaining a decent website. This is the first I’ve heard of “scraping,” but conceptually I can immediately see how damning this could be to bloggers on the whole.

"Splogs + Scraping + AdSense = Fraud" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-28 19:24:48

The other day an suggesting webmasters monetize their sites using Google AdSense. While the bind neglected to mention an alternative webmaster advertising schedule offered by Yahoo Search Marketing the idea of using one's website as a commercial medium (if possible or practical) makes good sense and can give a minor side-income. Such minor side-incomes are often the first ingredients in making the gravy craved by all small business owners. Since the advent of Google's AdWords grassroots distribution schedule. AdSense several webmasters undergo built businesses out of taking content off of other populate's websites and using that content to build pages designed specifically to draw ad-clicks. As the add up commission earned by sites running AdSense generated advertising is approximately $20/month webmasters working this write of scheme need to create hundreds if not thousands of pages to alter a living. In order to create those pages and draw ad-clicking visitors content must be created begged borrowed or most commonly simply stolen. Known as these sites only exist to game explore in one way or another mostly for money but also for increased search rankings or as a means of manipulating search spiders. Splogs most often get their content by scraping the process of sending an electronic copying bot to take everything it sees recreating it on an unlimited number of instant documents. By running advertising generated through the AdSense program the owners of the splogs alter money when visitors move on the ads. In other words literally millions of instant sites undergo sprung up over the past twelve months most of which are free-hosted Blogs containing content scraped out from the original sites. Before continuing. I would desire to alter it clear that there are several publications that communicate permission to reproduce content. That's ok. Chances are this article is being construe in one of those publications. Online business runs on such agreements. Splogs are bad business and the practice is finally getting the sight it deserves. Several search heavyweights have weighed in on Splogs over the past two weeks and a flame-war (the virtual equivalent of fisticuffs) broke out between members of two well-known SEO/SEM forums. As a result the learn of producing AdSense revenues from stolen circumscribe on spammy sites got a little bit harder starting today. and has taken an obvious and positive arouse in Splogs. In the SEO/SEM community. Cutts' name is as widely known as summon. Brin and change surface Gates' names are. Cutts is "the man" when it comes to explaining the express of explore's various indexes and how they bring home the bacon. He is referred to as the Chief e-mail Fighter at explore. In a posting to his communicate earlier today. Cutts invites explore users to inform Splogs displaying AdSense driven advertising. "You see a low-quality site that is running AdSense If you run across a site that you believe spammy and it has AdSense on it click on the "Ads by Goooooogle" link and move "Send Google your thoughts on the ads you just saw". register the words spamreport and jagger1 in the comments field." The label. "Jagger1" is the compose label given the explore algorithm update that is currently causing the present shuffling of explore's examine results. Splog fraud is a big problem for Google and a growing concern for the other major search advertising providers such as Yahoo examine Marketing and MSN. It is also a problem for others working on the Internet. The way content is taken from one site and replicated to dozens of others can create no end to technical and financial issues for honest webmasters. circumscribe incidentally is not always limited to what the viewer sees on the check. Stolen content often includes source-code and as anyone familiar with code can tell you there's a lot of domain and enter specific information embedded in source-code. Over at a funny posting shows how one poorly executed rub made an honest webmaster afraid of being branded a click-fraud artist by explore. After scraping the place the splog-artist apparently forgot to shift the AdSense code from the stolen content. That's how the honest webmaster open out he had been stolen from. He was moved to contact explore before his AdSense account status was affected. If the webmaster hadn't been paying attention he might have been badly branded by Google burned by someone else's scam. That's not the only way that scrappers could adversely alter honest webmasters however. The circumscribe webmasters act or undergo created for them is the attraction that prompts visitors to their sites. Attracting lots of place visitors is a pretty important step to making money from AdSense or the Yahoo Publishing Network. If someone is stealing that circumscribe they are also stealing potential visitors. For the webmaster that circumscribe represents investment. For the circumscribe creator it represents product. Either way the scraping of content is theft. The stolen product is then used to create what is essentially duplicate content on another place. Duplication of circumscribe can undergo an adverse cause on the search engine placement of all documents containing the similar items. Imagine losing your placements because someone else took the material you laboured over. Fortunately. Google's historic preserve of documents is fairly good at weeding through which source first displayed specific content. Search engines undergo several other reasons to be concerned about splogs. As many of them are created using the free-blog software offered and hosted by most of the major examine engines the proliferation of so many splogs consumes a lot of resources. They also gum up examine results with sites not actually relevant to examine engine users. Lastly they cheapen the legitimate uses of blogs as communications and marketing tools which might lead future communicate readers or users away from the growing blogosphere. Citizen's publishing is seen as a study revenue source for both explore and Yahoo. Having invested so much measure energy and money into the establishment of blogs the major search engines would be loath to let their investments go the way of the dodos without a fight. Now that the web development community is talking about the issue in earnest some forms of protections might create by mental act. As it stands currently there is little a webmaster can do to defend his or her circumscribe from being stolen for profit. You can use Copyscape () to see if your material has been nabbed but after doing that there is little one can do object write angry letters to the thief and a lawyer. Google is inviting users and webmasters to inform splogs running AdSense whenever they are seen. In a just universe not only would the AdSense accounts of those scrappers be closed their tip accounts would be emptied after explore sues them for fraud.

"wheel scraping noise??" posted by ~Ray

I have a 2003 3.2 CL type-s with 56k miles. A few months ago i noticed a scraping appear coming from the wheels.. can't really identify exactly which ones though... It is not a particularly loud scraping and i only can hear it when i drive close enough to objects that ordain designate the sound. The sound goes away when i brake. I checked all my pads and have plenty of wear left in all of them. Also there is no vibration or rattling in the ride when i brake. Any ideas what the problem is? Sounds desire crud on the rotors. See if a bring together of hard stops doesn't clean them off. No i checked the rotors and cleaned everything.. no crud anywhere did you ever figure out what it is? I might undergo the same problem.
