Much to the dismay of our web server, we got linked to from MetaFilter.com. To answer some of the common concerns and questions people posted:
- Slashdoc does offer its content for web crawlers to freely index. This used to be a closed-off members-only database hosted at a different domain (see our about page for more details) for several years, but now we feel it is better to have the information freely available. We currently do not have all the documents indexed by all search engines, but we are working towards that goal by using new technologies such as Google SiteMaps.
- Although it may seem this site encourages plagiarism, that is not true since all the content is indexed by search engines. In fact, Slashdoc works perfectly well with plagiarism-detection services like MyDropBox.com.
- We do not publicly give out traffic details, but we get several orders of magnitude more visitors than 100/day
