How to prevent illegal name search engines from indexing my blog? (again)
-
Hi
I already created a new topic about that last year:
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-prevent-illegal-name-search-engines-from-indexing-my-blogYasni quotes the Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA) (§ 28 clause 1/3 FDPA resp. § 29 clause 1/2 FDPA) and goes on using my contents without my consent. I contacted the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Germany) by email but usually they don’t reply. Yasni ignores DMCA requests and similar notifications.
What’s the plan now? Obviously I don’t own the domain “wordpress.com”. Its host seems to have changed since 2012, it was OVH.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
I’m afraid that we do not have any additional information for you. If you are concerned about your data being used without your consent, we would have to recommend that you use the “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” setting under Settings >> Reading.
You also may want to consider using a self-hosted WordPress.org site, where you can more thoroughly customize your Robots.txt file or use a plugin which helps with more intricate privacy settings. You can read more about the differences right here:

Hi
I haven’t add any reply of the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information yet.
amightywp, thank you for your suggestions. I would prefer to be able to discourage only some engines from indexing my blog. I’ll probably make a request for enhancement, I’d like WordPress.com to support this kind of thing as is without extension.

Hi
I haven’t had any reply of the (german) Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.
I will simply move most of my contents (my photos) into my own server (probably a plug server or a cubbiebox under Debian Linux + ownCloud 7) at home in France, use my technical knowledge to block the nasty bots, redirect the referers from those illegal name search engines outside of my websites and benefit of French laws as the data will be in France in order to discourage the ones that use Google and Bing SERPs instead of using their own bots.
Is it possible to embed on wordpress.com the content of an article stored into an external website? I assume it is not yet possible. I would like to protect my texts too, without moving all my blog somewhere else.
Best regards and thank you for your wise advises.

Hiya,
Are you looking to have your WordPress.com content appear on your third-party site or the reverse, to have content from your third-party site appear on your WordPress.com blog?
There may be some way for you to embed articles from WordPress.com. We have full support for RSS, so there may be a plugin which will fetch the article and display it.
As for displaying content from a third-party site, it depends. We also have the ability to display content through RSS via shortcode:

I hope this helps!

Hi
I’m looking for the reverse, I’d like to move my WordPress.com content into another place (so that it gets protected by French laws) but I’d like it to go on appearing on WordPress.com. It would lead to use WordPress.com as a presentation layer and ownCloud as a remote storage. If I wanted to show WordPress.com content on an external website, I would just call get_page_by_path() and apply_filters() within my PHP code.
RSS shortcode is better than nothing but it doesn’t allow to show the whole article. In the best case, I can show the title and an excerpt of it.
WordPress 4.0 will allow to embed documents coming from Issuu:
https://codex.wordpress.org/EmbedsI’m looking for the same ability for WordPress articles, a bit like what does the plugin “Improved Include Page” but for posts, something like:
[include-post id=”1234″ wp-url=”http://www.gouessej.com/wp/”]If it’s not doable, I’ll simply move the photos which will drastically limitates those illegal name search engines’ power of nuisance.
Thank you for your help.

You would like to restrict your blog to a geographic area while taking advantage of a global publisher. This is just not possible.

As raincoaster stated, if you embed content on WordPress.com you still may find problems with search engines discovering and indexing the embedded content. If you are truly dedicated to controlling the access which is had over your site as you are describing, you will need to fully self-host it.

I don’t want to restrict my blog to a geographic area but if the data were located on a server in France, I would benefit of French laws.
Ok, this is what I feared. Then, I’ll self-host the images as a first step. Yes, search engines will go on discovering the embedded content but when the images are on my server, I’ll be able to redirect some of them (those annoying me) to an error page (403) while allowing others (Google, Bing, …) to go on indexing it. I can analyse the spiders to detect Yasni, Yatedo, Pipl and the other craps of the same kind including content scrapers like Akismet already does to detect comment spammer bots. I can use the host, the hostname, the HTTP user agent, the HTTP referer, … Maybe I could detect dictionary attack on WordPress admin too.
Thanks.
