InArchive.com illegally copies sites/forums word by word. This for one purpose only and that is just in order to get traffic from search engines. A SEO trick, Internet search manipulation, where InArchive.com manipulate Google search results.

SUMMARYThe purposeI have asked InArchive.com 5 times what they expect to gain from the archive, but it's impossible to get any answer. They try to avoid the question in every way they can. This is clear proof of that InArchive.com isn't what they wish to appear to be.In what way is the people behind InArchive.com making money and where will they see themselves making money from the archive in the future? Where do they want their income to come from regarding this archive? InArchive.com is not creating the archive just for fun or because they have nothing else to do. They're not working for the government or in a non-profit organization or research project. The archive is an obvious business idea, but they can not produce an answer for why they're creating the archive. They can not give the real reason; that they create the archive from other peoples hard work in order to attract the search engines to their own sites (which is a lot). The only reason InArchive gives in questions about this is that the archive is a backup for site owners. But what the use is supposed to be for others is not the question here. What's in it for the people behind the site? The siteInArchive.com has been active for about three years but still their very simple web site contains nothing apart from the stolen material. Their FAQ is minimal, no contact info, bad design, etc. This also shows that InArchive.com only cares about the data they steal from others. The more data, the more hits they will get from the search engines and the more money they can make on their other web sites.Legal mattersInArchive copies your web site without even asking or getting permission for this.InArchive.com added rules in their FAQ for their site where they write that they will respect "publicity right, privacy right, copyright". But InArchive.com copies all material they can get a hold of and never ever care about if it's copyrighted. I've asked InArchive.com about their view on taking other peoples material and use for their own personal benefit. But InArchive.com avoid all legal questions in any way they can. InArchive.com has no answer whatsoever for any of the basic questions;
Googles cache InArchive makes a ridiculous comparison between Googles cache and InArchive. Google cache is just cached for a very limited time, in the opposite to InArchive. InArchive.com wants to compare InArchives storage for many years to come (10 years or above, they can't give any time limit) of other peoples hard work for personal benefit, that only creates problems for the creator and owner of the original work, with some search engines temporary and non-searchable cache for a completely different purpose. Freezepage.com InArchive.com also claim that what they do is nothing different from the site freezepage.com, in spite of the obvious fact that there is nothing similar between InArchive.com and freezepage.com. Archive.org - waybackmachine In a way to justify that they steal other site owners, companies and organizations material InArchive.com wants to compare themselves with archive.org, but;
InArchive.com doesn't want to comment on what I write them about this;
Robots.txt The only reply InArchive.com gives on questions about their right to steal other's material is that it now (after they've talked to me and a few years too late) added a function where it should be possible to block InArchive.com (might very well be a lie) from copying the site thru a server utility called "robots.txt". But robots.txt has nothing to do with what's not allowed according to laws, general rules and regulations as well as ethics. Robots.txt is just a possibility for a site owner to block access for certain robots that the site owner is aware exists. Also nobody knows if InArchive.com really follow the rules given in robots.txt. There is no proof whatsoever that they do this or even that InArchive.com's bot is really named "inarchive.com" (general name) as they now all of a sudden claim.
I asked InArchive.com the following;
Bad bots / Spambots - 173.199.115.163 Choopa.net ahrefs.com
Practical use?InArchive.com can't give me any other reason for creating their archive other than that it can be used as some kind of backup for site owners. There is no research purpose or anything else, just backup.However;
inarchive.com/se/v/varbergsposten.se/607881/2011-11-25-description/ - 371 pages. When glancing thru different archived sites at InArchive.com it becomes obvious that a lot of the copied material is nothing else but garbage. A collection of words with no meaning whatsoever. What's the use of this for anyone else than the people behind InArchive.com? There is no processing of the material archived by Inarchive.com in order to make it easier to read or find, it's just presented as it is read without any effort of making it easy to read (since the search engines don't care about this). Most of the links in the archive leads to empty pages, without any content at all! How useful is an archive like that? I haven't seen many pages archived at InArchive.com where the images are archived with the text. In the pages I've seen, InArchive.com doesn't archive the code/scrips either.
The real reason for this is that InArchive only cares about the text for the search engines. Every site has information that is changed and replaced by something better/more correct from time to time. And there are many occasions for each site where they don't want some old information disclosed. But InArchive.com don't hesitate to override the site owners will. The inevitable result will be that the value of the information on Internet decreases. Also many who searches for information will get confused and desinformed.
Additional info about InArchive.comWho needs InArchive.com and for what? InArchive.com copy just any crap out there, and don't care about the importance of the information. InArchive.com then republish the web pages, usually in a way that makes it more or less unreadable. They don't care how it looks, since the only thing that's important for InArchive.com is to have the words and texts that attracts the search engines, in order to trick and manipulate the search engines. InArchive.com's main purpose, and seemingly only purpose according to them, - which they come back to all the time - is for site owners to use InArchive as a backup. That's as meaningless as anything can be. Just from these facts it's clear that there are no advantages with InArchive.com, except for the people themselves who are involved with InArchive.com. Who gains from InArchive.com? InArchive is not just an archive, it's also a publishing system, and it's here where the people behind InArchive see a profit to be made. By manipulating the search engines to lead searches to InArchive.com instead of to the original sites with the relevant information. Winners are InArchive and loosers are everybody else. When the popularity in the search engines increases InArchive.com get more visitors who click on their ads (as their common ads for casinos, online games, etc).InArchive can also use the site InArchive.com, in various ways, to increase traffic to all the other sites that they have where they sell different products and services (like hosting, servers, web development/design, etc). Nobody else but InArchive.com will gain from the archive. Ever! What are the disadvantages with InArchive.com? But there are other important disadvantages with the archive. For example that the site owner is no longer in control of what information to be displayed. A lot of irrelevant information will be out there and confuse everybody. The users of the search engines will get less useful and reliable search results. Even the search engines will be affected since they not only will have to index a lot more material (uses more resources and results in less time for real sites with valuable & relevant information) that also is irrelevant/duplicates/not updated. The search engines will also produce less reliable results. Users of search engines will be less content with the search engines that don't block sites like InArchive.com. Permission

InArchive.com writes; "Q: Do you archive all sites, files? A: No. We consider robots.txt files. If there are forbidden content - we do not archive. Also we do not archive large files. And do not index sites with illegal content (by our opinion). Or, if found by our system illegal content later - than remove that. " But they will not tell you how to block InArchive.com in robots.txt! Inarchive.com keeps the name of their search spider and its IP a secret. In this way they make it impossible for everyone to block out their search spider! So, what InArchive.com writes here is an obvious lie just to make it look legitimate! InArchive.com writes; "Remove my site from inArchive.com. Note - contact data should be the same as Whois data for domain - let we can make sure changes asked by domain owner. If different data (name, e-mail etc) provided - we will ignore such request, and will not send even approvement request. " There's no logic in this. If email and name is registered, then everybody also can give the email and name that they can see just as well as InArchive.com. So it seems like what InArchive.com writes is nothing else than a scam. They want your email and name, in order to collect email-addresses to spam? InArchive.com require of you to give out your email in the domain registration as well as to them, but InArchive.com don't want to reveal their own email on their site, or even in Whois. First InArchive copies your site without even asking or getting permission for this, then if/when you discover it you will have to request them to take away the copied content (which they might not do anyway), and only if you give out your email and name! And only if this information matches what is registered and can be seen by everyone in Whois (where you might not want this information to be seen!). After InArchive.com has your web site name and info, your name as the one responsible at the site, your email and your IP, what do you think this dodgy organization will use this for?
