While many believe that having more content is the key to getting traffic, having hundreds of web pages about your key subject or product is actually no more effective than having one properly prepared web page about it. Making that mistake often leads to exposing web content to copy and plagiarism by others who similarly believe that an abundance of  content is the key to their success. Consequently that belief usually leaves web content exposed to more exploits than most realize.


So the prevention of copy and plagiarism of web data and media by others can begin with some common sense. If you can create interesting doorway pages to better serve as fodder for search engines, then you can keep the bulk of your content away from probing site grabbers and the such quite simply by limiting access to logged in users and/or limiting access to approved user-agents or the latest versions of the popular web browsers.

Without a login your "protected" web pages will not be accessible to everyone and by simply limiting access to only known and recent versioned user-agents you can prevent access from most search engines and site grabbers. Creating member login requirements today is made very easy by using one of several Content Management Systems (CMS) such as WordPress or Moodle.

Once you have limited access to your protected content by the public, if you want to further protect your content from copy while on display, you can use website copy protection software. Site protection software can take many forms such as CMS plugins that disable right mouse click options to real copy protection software that can prevent all copy including PrintScreen and screen capture such as the ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS). ASPS provides the best protection from all exploits because the web server sends encrypted web pages to the ArtisBrowser which is the only web browser that can decrypt those pages and while they are on display, the user is limited to actions controlled by the web site owner.

For websites providing data and other intellectual property such as online lessons in PDF or ebook format, PDF security software can be used. Copy protected PDF can be distributed for desktop reading with DRM to prevent sharing, or it can be displayed online by embedding the PDF into web pages. CopySafe PDF Protection provides the best all round PDF security because it is safe from all copy and can be used for display on both the desktop and online in a web browser.
