"A Sphinn discussion thread led me to a post by Bill named Slow Down Nosy SEO's and Snooping Competitors.In short, he gives techniques to \"slow down\" a competitor from analyzing your SEO techniques and just copying what you have done to benefit themselves.  Now, I do not personally vouch for these techniques, that is up to you - but here they are:Do away with Archive.org and block them from archiving your site's changesNOARCHIVE your pages to block the search cacheBlock competitive analysis tools like XenuUse private domain registrationBlock unauthorized bots and toolsCloak your pages to fool with your competitorsAgain, I would not suggest all of these techniques. I am personally of the opinion to worry more about improving your own site as opposed to messing with your competitors minds - but that is up to you.Forum discussion at Sphinn."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
