How to Prevent Site Theft

Preventing Content Theft

1. Check the search engines for stolen text or articles. Copy and paste a section of the original text into the search engine. Put the section of original text in quotes. Review the results of the search for other Web sites with very similar (plagiarized) content, or a copy of the exact text. Another option is to send the text, or the Web page URL, through CopyScape. This will bring up a listing of sites with a significant amount of words being copied.

2. Turn in Web sites guilty of copyright infringement. Contact the hosting company of any sites that have stolen your content. Send a copy of the content removal request to the owner of the site also. If you do not hear back from the hosting company within two weeks, report the site to Google's Spam Report, and other major search engines. If the content thief is using Google AdSense, or other PayPerClick services, for illegal activities (such as stolen content/images), report the site.

3. Disable copy, paste and right-click options. Insert JavaScript into your site to prevent copy, paste and right-clicking without your permission. Wordpress blog users can simply download plug-ins to automatically disable these options.

4. Create a clear policy that states your site does not tolerate content theft. Insert a 'Do Not Copy,' or 'Protected by CopyScape,' banner on every page of your site to scare off potential content thieves. Write a detailed section of text in your Privacy Policy indicating that the Web site is copyrighted, and not open to re-distribution.

Preventing Image Theft

5. Place a visual copyright watermark on your images. Image watermarks can range from a full symbol across the picture, to a small section of text in the corner of the image. Create a copyright watermark in Photoshop, or other image creation tool. Include the copyright holder's name, date of copyright, and the rights management (eg. Creative commons type license). Make the watermark slightly transparent to allow visitors of your site to clearly see the image.

6. Use a low resolution image to protect against image theft. Images that are 550 pixels, should be saved at 72 dpi when used on the Internet. This will prevent the image from being re-sized without creating a grainy effect.

7. Disable copy, paste and right-click options. Insert JavaScript into your site to over-ride browser clicks. Prevent downloads of images by placing pictures as a background to tables using CSS code. While right-click downloads will still be functional with this method, the downloaded image will appear transparent to the image thief.

8. Stop search engines from indexing your protected images. Insert a META tag to prevent search engines from indexing your images, while still allowing them to put the rest of the page in their search listings. JavaScript can be added into the root directory of the site to tell 'bots,' or spyders, to disregard the image directory of your site. All major search engines should honor your request to remove your images from public searches.

How to Measure AdSense Success

1. Log into your Google AdSense account. After login you will be directed to the main AdSense page where you are likely to see summary information including estimated earnings, recent traffic information and links to additional resources and reports. If your account is new, statistics generation may take a day or two after AdSense code has been added to your site.

2. Find the section titled 'Performance Reports'. This section is where you will find all the information you will need to track and manage your AdSense campaigns.

3. Locate the navigation links on the left side of the page. These links allow you to view your statistical data by day, week, month, and by various other categories as well, such as by specific ad unit, ad size, or custom channels you have already defined in AdSense.

4. View statistics for page views, clicks, and Page CTR (click through rate). These are the primary benchmark statistics you will want to track.

5. Gather statistics for clicks and page views for a period of time. If you are gathering statistics by month, collect several months' worth of data. Using a spreadsheet application, enter the monthly data in a way that allows you to view each month in chronological order.

6. Analyze the trends of your data by viewing from oldest to newest. If possible, create a graph that allows you to chart your numbers visually. This makes viewing trends easier. Healthy statistics will show upward movement, indicating that page views and clicks on paid advertising links are rising.

7. Review the CTR for the collected time periods. The CTR allows you to analyze page views and clicks together. The higher this number is the greater your AdSense success. Follow the trend of this number for the collected period. There may be ups and downs, not every period needs to show increased rates. However, the overall trend should be an upward climb.

8. Consider the analysis of each statistic collectively. If one statistic seems to be improving but another is lagging, determine what might be the cause. For instance, if page views are increasing but your clicks are going down, consider moving the ad to another spot on the web page. Positions at the top of the page will get the best visibility. Once you have considered all the data as a whole you can begin to make an assessment about their overall success, helping you make improvements where necessary to improve monetary effectiveness.

How to Create a Pay for Click Website

Building Custom Software

1. Create a database table with link records. Add database records to track how many times a link has been clicked on your website. Track any other relevant information, such as time and date of clicks and information about visitor.

2. Design a software module to track clicks. As a visitor clicks on a link on your website, the software module will record each click in the database and then redirect the visitor to the appropriate page on the advertiser's website.

3. Make website pages connected to the software module. In order for the software module to operate, it must be invoked by code on a website page. The code on your website pages specifies the software module name and also passes a value (or parameter) to the software module indicating which link has been clicked.

4. Test the website pages and software module. Once you've built the software module and website pages, access them via a web server, either on your local machine or on your website hosting account. If you are going to access the pages and software module on your website server, then you'll need to upload the page files and software files to your website server using an FTP utility.

Off-the-Shelf Software Approach

5. Select a pay per click software package. Choose a package that meets your needs. For example, select a package that will be compatible with the language your site is written and also compatible the database and type of hosting account that you are using.

6. Install the pay per click software package. This may be as simple as uploading files to your website hosting account, or may involve a more intricate process of actually installing software on your website server.

7. Configure the pay per click software. Select the settings you need for your website. Add your advertiser link records.

Publishing and Promoting

8. Publish the website. If your website is a hand-coded (written in HTML by hand) site, you'll need to transfer your page files to your website hosting account using FTP. If you are using a content management system, then simply publish your pages according to the instructions provided by your CMS publisher.

9. Track website clicks and charge your advertisers. Keep records of your clicks and provide reports to your advertisers.

10. Attract new visitors and advertisers. Use search engine optimization or other techniques such as pay per click to attract new visitors. Also, be sure that your website includes an invitation to new advertisers.

How to Identify an AdSense Account Code

1. Open the HTML document in a text editor.

2. Browse through the available code and look for a Javascript code that begins with '

3. Locate the 'google_ad_client' variable, usually located on the second line of the AdSense code. If you found it, then you are looking at the AdSense account code. The 'google_ad_client' lists the publisher ID, which is unique to each AdSense account.

4. Locate the 'google_ad_slot' variable. it is the unique reference number for the specific ad slot the publisher has set up.

5. Find the 'google_ad_width' and 'google_ad_height' variables. These numbers indicate how tall and wide the ad display is.

How to Find the Owner or Publisher of a Website

1. Look at the bottom of the web page for the copyright information. Websites that are protected by copyright include the icon at the bottom of the screen. You can usually find the owner or publisher name at the bottom of the page next to the copyright icon.

2. Search the Whois database. When a domain is registered with a domain registration company, its information is included in the Whois database. Simply enter the domain name into the search field. The Whois database is protected by a security key, which is used to prevent automated systems from accessing the database. You need to enter the security key before the owner information will be displayed. The registrant's name will be shown along with the Whois agent contact information.

3. Use the website's Contact Us page. Many websites include their contact information. Most websites use a contact form in order to keep their email private. However, some websites simply list an email in their contact information. In the form, request additional information on the owner or publisher of the website. Provide a contact email in order to get a response.
