Copyright Notes & Guidelines for Webmasters

Images & Photos:

All our images are digitally signed using special software. Even Photoshop and Fireworks cannot read this hidden content without the appropriate extensions and plug-ins. Also there are several tools and websites that detect and report illegal copies automatically. Thinking that no one will find your buried site is not an option in today's digital age. Please follow the following guideline for using our images and articles.

 

Permission to Use Our Photos:

If you would like to publish some of our images or photos for your own website, then you can, providing you follow the following instructions:

• You are allowed to use a maximum of 15 photos or images for any one URL (website).
• You must link the images or photos back to www.temehu.com, as follows:

  <a href= "http://www.temehu.com/ACTUAL PAGE LINKING TO or INDEX.htm "target="_blank"> <img src="http://www.temehu.com/ ACTUAL PHOTO NAME.jpg"   border= "0"> </a>

Change: ACTUAL PAGE LINKING TO or INDEX.htm , in the above lines of code, to the name of the page you are linking to in our website: for example: <a href="http://www.temehu.com/"> would link to our home page. You can link to other pages instead.

Change : ACTUAL PHOTO NAME.jpg to the name of the image you would like to use. For example: <img src=" http://www.temehu.com/Picturatum/Zuwarah-beach-sand-dunes.jpg" border="0"> would link and display the following image:

 

 

As you can see, I have made it easier, as there is no visible indication that the photo belongs to another site; just an invisible link linking back to the original source. Other sites stipulate that you credit, in writing, under the photo, the original owner of the photo. I have removed this condition just in case it would interfere with the design of your website. You can also change the size of the image, reduce or enlarge it, and add borders to suit your design. However, use of Temehu.com material without linking back to the original source as stated above is a violation of international copyright regulations.

There are many webmasters who take complete text blocks and whole articles from other sites without really knowing the implications behind their actions. The following will explain an important issue often overlooked by webmasters, who in doing so end up harming their websites rather than improving them.

Google's policy is to index distinct pages showing unique information, and the last thing it needs is to dish-up duplicate content to its customers. Imagine you type Tannit in Google and get the same results repeated all over the first few pages; frustrating and time wasting, to say the least.

This happens because people copy content from other sites and republish it in their own sites often without asking the webmaster of the original source for any permissions or guidelines and without knowing the proper way to do it.

To avoid providing low quality search results for its customers, Google and other search engines employ their own measures to penalise the offending site; where, in some cases, Google will remove the site from its index and as a result the offending site may no longer appear in its search results - the last thing responsible webmasters want.

Worse still, sometimes Google's software gets confused and, rarely, the original site too gets to taste its remedy, where the offending site's copy of the information ranks higher than the original content. But mostly, the ranking of the offending sites will suffer because the search bots of yesterday have moved forward today. For example, they date-stamp content, and if any copies appeared elsewhere after the date of the original content, then it is obvious that it is a copy.

Webmasters can hide from the authors of the original content; but Google bot will find them because that is exactly its job.

To avoid those two undesirable scenarios, I have provided the following guidelines for webmasters who wish to redistribute some of our articles published in temehu.com:

 

Steps Required For Proper & Harmless Redistribution:

3 small steps will insure proper procedure:

 

• You need to block your page (which contains the copied article or content) from indexing. Google strongly advises webmasters to ask those who copy content for republishing to block the version on their sites with a robots.txt, or via meta block. This will ensure that Google results will always be fresh and original, instead of  providing duplicate content but with different URLs.

To block indexing via the meta tag, please place this line with your other meta tags:

<META NAME= "ROBOTS "CONTENT= "NOINDEX">

To block via the robots text: If you already have a robots.txt, then just add this line:

DISALLOW: /FILENAME.HTM
(change "filename.htm" with the name of the file to block)

 

If you do not have a robots.txt, then here is a small robots.txt you can use:

# robots.txt for http://your-domain-name/
Sitemap: http://your-domain-name/sitemap.txt
User-Agent: *
Disallow: /filename.htm

(change "filename.htm " with the name of the file to block).

 

• Pay proper attributions by saying, at the top of the copied article, where the article is taken from and the author's name. For example, you can use: This article is written by Nesmenser, at www.temehu.com.   Google requires from you to always make sure you link back to the original source (a proper HTML link and not just text), so that your readers can follow it up, and search-bots can easily identify the original source and avoid confusion and unnecessary penalising.

 

• Make sure you keep the License notice given at the end of the article, as removing it violates the agreement and you no longer have the right to copy the material. The license states that the notice must be copied in its linkable state so that readers can click on it and read the content of the license. It is not permissible to copy just the text, as this also violates the agreement. For example, you can copy these lines (below) and place them at the end of the article in your HTML code:
