Jeff Atwood discusses this in his most recent Coding Horror blog post (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/01/trouble-in-the-house-of-google.html http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/01/trouble-in-the-hous...), in which he states that he doesn't really mind people copying StackOverflow questions (and answers), but that he does mind that the copies get a higher Google ranking than the original.
- retube 16y agoHow does that happen though? efreedom must be doing something special with SEO to get higher than SO given that SO must have huge page rank score.
- iuytgyuikoiuy 16y agoPagerank is based on number/quality of links. Nobody links to an SO question, except perhaps mentioning it in a blog post. Scrapping sites create lots of links to the question, even if they are low quality ones
- retube 16y agoYeah but does anyone link to efreedom question pages? And SO as a whole must have way more inbounds than efreedom, surely?
