Are Scrapers Exploiting the sitemap.xml file?

Many people seem to posting saying after adding sitemaps they are suffering a problem with content. Could sitemaps.xml be beeing abused. Is the new content title and meta tag scraped before the sitemap is submitted to google by sitemap generators?


A month ago, when ask.com posted about the sitemap.xml in the robots.txt, I posted about how this can new feature can be abused and how you should protect sitemaps. I even posted this on the webmaster’s world as well… No one cared then, now they are suffering.

What can I say more, thanks for the sunday night drama. :)
