Content scraping, also known as web scraping or data scraping, refers to the unauthorized extraction of content from websites using automated bots or scripts. Scraped content is often republished on other websites without permission or proper attribution, infringing on copyright and intellectual property rights. Websites that fall victim to content scraping may experience indexing issues as search engines may struggle to identify and prioritize the original source of content, leading to duplicate content problems and reduced visibility in search results. Webmasters should monitor web traffic and referal sources, enforce copyright policies, and take legal action against content scrapers to protect their website's content and search engine visibility. To address content scraping issues, webmasters should use tools like Google Alerts or Copyscape to monitor for instances of content duplication or scraping, implement measures to prevent unauthorized access or scraping of website content, and file DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown requests with search engines and hosting providers to remove infringing content from search results and web servers. They can also use structured data markup such as Article Schema to signal the original source of content to search engines.
