Well I have learned alot from this forum so just wanted to share what i know , basically i am noob amoung all u masters you guys just rock well so the easiest way of copying a site is like 1st find a site which you like to copy and it should be regarding your niche ... open the site left top click on file and click on save as .. give it a location where you wanna save ... like for example desktop so it will make one folder .. plus an internet explore file of the site .. in the folder you will get all the picturs present on the page .. plus the css file all u need to do is just to replace links and pictures if u for example i have made my self one ... http://linkbee.com/AAH2D thats the site i wanted to copy http://linkbee.com/AAH2F thats the one i made my gf said mine is better then the orignal one Warning .. dont select aged domain , becuase if he founds you then he can get u penalized for that by big G .. hit thanks if u like this little trick
alternativly you could use HTTrack which will copy everything possibly linked to whatever source page you give it. this includes videos ,flash files, plugin directories,etc. WARNING- large website take up large space. you might get more then you expected if you dont watch whats going on **EDIT - i cant submit links yet because i lurk alot. google the name***
ohhh DMCA notices SUCK.......... used to sell UGG-lys minus the lys, jacks wanted us to sell them but not use pictures in our websites wtf...
I use the WebAssist Site-Import tool for Dreamweaver, Sets everything up for you and builds template files plus all folders/images/scripts, etc.
yeah wordpress is in php .. but u can get all the list of plugins , themes and widgets he is using ..
There is no point in copy a web page, the deep linking structure you will have to manuly change, unless you have good script to do it automatically. HTrack is good freeware, and you just need to customize the page and remove the footnote of the scraped page. Oh yeh, dup content hard to rank.
How can you tell if it is aged? I read somewhere that the meta tags will show up as the site being duplicated with Google and that this will get you penalized or the site wont get ranked...any other warnings you know about? Im trying to copy a huge site and would hate to waste alot of time and energy on it and then not be able to use it. thanks
i have dreamweaver CC does it have the webassist site import tool? So i can import a whole website into wordpress? Or if no WP then what would i import it to? Im really new at this...can you give me steps to make DW do everything for me? i am grateful for any help you can offer...thanks
what if you change some of the content or what if it is a review site with alot physical products with buy now buttons linked to amazon? If I just change a bunch of the items and names it wont be a duplicate anymore ...correct? Im asking....because i dont know.
