Even at that. showing another image is pointless at this point, its google's serps that make my productive traffic, my type-in is less valuable to me as opposed to the financial benefit from my serp results.
I have read about replacing any calls from non-whitelisted domains for .jpg files with a php script that can inject my own html/javascript code and even break frames from that html if needed.
.. I have not been able to get it to successfully work though and I'd be nervous about inserting anything related to any of my own ref codes or landing to anything I own as most of the spam results are laden with Cp and other illegal stuff. |
Yes you can do that and it should work quite well if you set it up correctly. It won't save your google listings though. That's tougher to prevent if he's scraping the Google hosted pages rather than your site directly because you can't intercept the scraper and feed it crap.. Google should be keeping track of who put the content up first and going with that rather than who it thinks has authority. But I doubt they care unless someone really pushes the issue.
