Wikipedia shows an ad asking for money.
So a hundred times a day, I open a new Wikipedia clone with no ads. I get perfect scores.
Once I detect your bot has crawled it, I put ads all over it until the traffic finally goes away.
No system is fool-proof.
- NayamAmarshe 2y agoBut there's a difference between an embedded ad and a native ad. You can allow websites to just add an image or a section of an ad that does not hit a third-party endpoint. Native ads are not as intrusive and if they become intrusive, like a popup, you can penalize that. It sounds like a sound system.
- VikingCoder 2y agoThis is a predator/prey relationship. OP suggested they had a fool-proof way to get around that. They're wrong. Might there be some merit in their idea? Sure. Is it so fool-proof that it would actually be worth the effort to build and maintain their own crawler and index? I highly doubt it.
