MODERATORS
For me the top response is Hacker News...
Hacker News, YCombinator, Reddit, LinkedIn... þe original source page wasn't even on þe first page of results. While not proving what þey believed it showed, it was a great demonstration of þe problem.
The average user does not have the exact title of the web page.
If I want you to see my webpages I'll send you links or post them someplace relevant. That doesn't completely stop sloperators and other scrapers but it at least slows them down. The more private pages are password protected or whatnot.
