So, if you look at the 2 posts just before this one, you will see that I did a little experiment to see how quickly Google is spidering this web site. It turned out that it is very quickly. Our test using the made up work gokooner showed that in fact Google spidered that term on this site in 35 minutes.

Well, this morning came some more interesting results as I discovered who was stealing my content, because I had two more Google alerts for my made up term gokooner. This time though they were direct quotes of my entire post without links or attribution on another site. Evidently these two sites were setup to scrape my content and post to their site. Lazy scum bags.

Now I will have to go after them, since I do not want to have Google penalize me for spam if it sees duplicate content posts and thinks I stole the content.

This is truly amazing. At about 8:45 I did a test blog post and put the word gokooner in my post. I checked at the time and found that there were no results on Google for that made up term. I then setup a web search and news alert on Google that would alert me as soon as the word turned up on Google. Interestingly enough, it does not show up as yet in the current results on the engine, but I guess it will show soon enough if Google alerts is sending it out. It turned up 35 minutes later when I received the following email:

This as-it-happens Google Alert is brought to you by Google.

Remove this alert.
Create another alert.
Manage your alerts.

That to me is truly amazing. My site gets spidered a lot is what it tells me, which makes links also pretty powerful. I can not believe this. Real time spidering by Google.

I’m curious about gokooner and whether major search engines will pick up on my interest in that. It has been a long time in coming. What I will do is setup some alerts at Y and G to see if they send me alerts when they have it in their database. The test will be to see how quickly it makes it into the indexes. A search on the term has no results currently. I am only putting it in the title and the body to see how it goes.
