   This looks pretty much like a trial – nobody but programmers is using google codesearch these days.

   Surely you can get your own “Unique” scraper code easy enough. Writing a bot isn’t that difficult. You probably have a dozen books on it already on your bookshelf (which you could give away at the next NPMMO… I’d take one. )

   scrapper code is useless because of the duplicate content penalties. You have to find a way to scramble the content and change words so it’s not EXACTLY the same. Obviously.

   I actually followed the link to their site, you can not see the site. Ok, the 404 page, but nothing for the rest.

   Other then the slightly ironic fact that google found the zip, recognized it as php and threw it in Google code, the code is pretty boring and useless. If you’re going to be a spammer at least be clever instead of boring and banal.

    scraper code to me is useless for the most part the good code u won’t find it floating out there as easily. depending on what u are doing it may be just as easy to contract out writing junk content

    Yeah very interesting. Google scrapes a site that teaches you how to do scraper pages then claims:

    “Google is neither affiliated with the authors of this page nor responsible for its content.”

    I’m gonna start using that quote on all my sites! ;D

    I grabbed the files and installed them. Unless I’m missing something, this seems like nothing more than a MFA template, like the ones you would buy off eBay for $10.
