They're a real pain. One guy was just wholesale reposting my entire content - not just a snippet - and to cap it off he was hotlinking my images. I sent him a strongly worded email (I whois'd his domain name and found his email address), and now the site is a blank page. Guess he got the message. I keep noticing these in my trackbacks.

So I should really write a post about it huh? I'll put it on my to do list. Basically, I generated xml and used dates that were close to the current date so that the fake content would show up on the front page instead of the archives. I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to try this until I write a post about it. Hmm, a few people have asked how I did a fake rss feed. So I should really write a post about it huh?

But the true irony of the post is that your google ads on this page are now displaying sites such as "Easy web data scraping" etc... How did you write the auto-generated feed? Thanks.

I'm using the Antileech plugin which is supposed to do the same thing (feed fake RSS content based on IP address), however it didn't work for one of the scrapers and I had to block their IP in my htaccess file after reading your post. Have you written about how you created your own fake RSS feed? I'd love to learn how you did that. Hi, thanks for the tip for using network-tools.com to get the scraper’s IP address.

There must be a module which allows to watermark feeds on the fly. This is, of course, puts load on your CPU, but it's all in a good cause.
