Yep, boardreader aggregates content from blogs, forums, comments, news sites and more. This is just the free service, the enterprise service has a lot more power and sources.

How about this one? Still having issues searching exact things on BoardReader.

I know that but the only thing I got from the link was that I am in eighth place.

It seems it would be wise to ban the IPs the site uses to scrape CN. Maybe it abides by robots.txt. Or maybe not. How many people read CN forum's content via boardreader?

I doubt there's anyone here who actually keeps an eye on things like that.

If the number of people who read the forum with boardreader or other aggregators cost CN enough money then they might do something about it. They might be clueless about this sort of thing or the numbers may be so small that it does not matter.

It doesn't cost CN a nickel, if anything they get a nickel for each click from the ads, OK maybe a few fractions of a cent, there's also another site that lists the marketing value of sites, that could be used to determine CN's ad-worthiness, according to that equation.

BroDeal, looks like the forum actually blocks some of the google bots, very low value according to this site (ranking site): http://www.esitestats.com/index.php

Update:
There are other sites, but was chopped off by the scheduled nothingness, and out of steam now.

Somebody needs to tell JV about this - help him manage his time to sort the chaff.
