:mad Warning with this technique (Google)
I'm still an inexperienced webmaster...

I was having good placements on Google for my new site... He was even making good sales!

Suddenly something happened. My website disappeared from search! Today I found out what caused it... My site was totally copied by the proxy service Google! See the link below:

https://www.google.com/#q=%22appspot...1280& bih=663

I believe this was done intentionally by another webmaster and I believe I have solved this problem using my htaccess!

But be warned for other amateurs like me!

I put it on my htaccess:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} AppEngine [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]

Let me know if there is better solution...

It blocks access to any client which presents a user agent with the string "AppEngine" in it. But there are a whole load of others you need to block too, and that won't even stop all scrapers. I'd love to know the UA updowner.com is using and block that fucker.

The mod rewrite you suggested offer some protection. When I had similar problem a few years ago, here are other things I did in addition to the mod_rewrite:

1. Get strong links to your site so that your site is at least stronger than the copycat.
2. Rewrite some of the contents of your site so that its not a duplicate any more but a different version of the one that was copied.
3. Update you site regularly so that the copycat cannot keep up.
4. use a more aggressive exclusion robots.txt file, allowing ONLY the big 3 crawlers.

Any half decent scraper probably uses a common UA, and possibly a random selection of common UAs. I've seen loads of multiple pages from the same IP use a different UA each time.
