        Well if they obay robots you cn try

        disallow WordPress

        Other than that use a canonical tag in all pages, so that when the scapper uses the pages they point back to you. Even if he notices, you have caused him to do a bit extra work.

          Hi,

          Thanks for the reply.  I have canonical tag in all my pages.  The thing is,  when they start to scrape my posts,  even just the part before the tag of my content,  google gives them higher rankings than mine.

            • Ideally should a 301 or 302 redirect be used from https://www.site.com to http://www.site.com? Is there a valid reason to use a 302 in this situation or would using a 301 have any negative impact on seo?
