Surely you should know the problems if you are working for an anti-scraping company.... Anyway...

Most people who own small website dont necessarily know there website is being scrapped on a daily basis (talking sole traders, tiny businesses). If they are paying for adwords or local advertising through parish or county community websites then they may think they are getting bang for the buck than they actually think. If they get 10 visitors a day and 8 of those are scrapers what does this really mean for there advertising revenue. Obviously they should be basing there return on investment against revenue but still a website is seen as a big thing for most small businesses.

Yes, it is very true that many fail to realize that they are getting scraped simply because there aren't many tools which show the traffic classified among humans and bots. This surely is a problem. Thanks for leaving a comment!
