Rudd, this is a great idea! I would also suggest setting up google alerts so you know when your content is floating somewhere it shouldn’t be.

This technique is quite useful because human mentality will always try to seek out free samples on a certain product and if it is too much an effort, one will choose to buy instead.

Seems to me, that the time would be better spent, as you mentioned, using a different delivery method.

If you make it hard for the “stealers” to access your content, you are also making it hard for the legitimate seekers.

Be Well!

‘Poisoning’ search results can be very counter-productive it would seem. I wonder if it would be worth anyone’s while to do that.

BTW, as a technical thing – double edged sword means one that can cut you as well as your opponent… not one with two benefits to you, usually. Feel free to delete this comment if you think it’s nit-picking.

Seems to be a very risky way to go about it.

The situation would be really tricky and one needs to be tactful. You mentioned it right, it can be a double-edged sword and can sometimes back fire.
