Personalized Search & Scraper Sites

by Dan Jaffe on July 21, 2009

Here are some predictions that Bruce Clay made in 2008, and I believe that we have seen some of them come to pass.

What is really interesting is his predicted doom of scraper sites. I have always thought that is where Google and other search engines would want to go. After all, there is no practical use for a site the just copies and regurgitates content (except maybe from a pay per click standpoint). Since Google and the others depend on the trust that users put in their searches, it makes sense that their policy would not favor sites like that which are untrustworthy.
