If there's a google cache of a scraper page does that help? Maybe for a bit, but quickly you'll see the page either "Supplemental'd" or non cached. Google's pretty good at throwing out most of the bath water (and sometimes the baby). Does it help, no. Does it hurt, usually not....it just won't "count". Any site with any rankings will get a few "freeby" scraper links each month...they come, they go. Best case scenario - you get a few new links until they're filtered out of the equasion. Worst case scenario, they scrape a bunch of content from you, and you're baby (your page) gets thrown out with the bath water.

I heard you speak at WW-NO and was very impressed. Today I noticed (on Aaron Wall's blog) that you have a blog, and decided to take a peak at yours. Question regarding scraper sites. While I don't know much of the topic, I notice that the scrapers are increasing my backlink count and IP diversity. I know it's bad for the content owner, but is this a good thing for me? Do links from scraper sites add any type of value to my site? Thank you! Hello Jim. I heard you speak at WW-NO and was very impressed.
