I discovered today that my site was being aggregated by Amsay.com. This is ok, but I notice s/he was framing my web pages and showing ads in the left frame. That I don't feel so good about. I quickly added this to my body tag, and I will be adding it to the core blogcfc code.
1<body onload="if(top != self) top.location.href=self.location.href">
I went the pr0n route - but that's only if you check the referer.
They deserve it. They really do.
As such, I typically use addEvent() for this purpose.
I would have the following code in my .js file. This will allow you to add multiple events to your page load and none of the need worry about whether others exist.
//use once (from onlinetools.org)
function addEvent(obj, evType, fn) {
if (obj.addEventListener){
obj.addEventListener(evType, fn, true);
return true;
} else if (obj.attachEvent){
var r = obj.attachEvent("on"+evType, fn);
return r;
} else {
return false;
}
}
function frameBuster() {
if(top != self){
top.location.href=self.location.href
}
}
addEvent(window,'load',frameBuster);
<script>
function init() {
if(top != self) top.location.href=self.location.href;
}
onload=init;
</script>
Steve/Joel: GOod points, but, I want to keep this short and simple. If a firewall blocks the script, it isn't the end of the world for me.
If you're going to use JS to do the redirect for pages that frame you, it might be interesting to append a URL token to the redirect, something like ?framebusted=1, so that you can filter it out in the blog stats program you use, or google analytics.
A friend of mine had something of this problem a couple of years ago. Someone else was leeching his site's content. So what he did is redo his site so that the images were replaced with mostly obscured pRon. Then he put a message on them that said "---.com is stealing these images. Until they stop, a lot more of this image will be revealed." Much to the dissappointment (I imagine) of at least some users, the leech stopped after a couple of days.
Myself, I've just used Ray's approach.

It'll be interesting to see how much traffic comes from their aggregator.
You might consider replacing:
top.location.href=self.location.href;
with:
top.location.replace(self.location.href);
This just replaces their frame with your page in the users history so that when they hit the "Back" button they don't get forward back to your page (after all, messing with the "Back" button is major bad mojo for usability).

There's info on their policies here:
"Any method that artificially generates clicks or impressions is strictly prohibited. These prohibited methods include but are not limited to: repeated manual clicks or impressions, incentives to click or to generate impressions, using robots, automated click and impression generating tools, third-party services that generate clicks or impressions such as paid-to-click, paid-to-surf, autosurf, and click-exchange programs, or any deceptive software."

Sounds like a robot to me...?

Right now when I go on the amsay.com site, your redirect code works very quickly. But while I was on vacation last week I accessed the same page, and the frame with your page took so long to load that the onLoad event effectively never occurred. Is there any reason not to run the script immediately in the page header instead of putting it in an onload event?

Thanks.
if host is a, do x
else do y
if(self != top ){
top.location.href = location.href;
}
for a starter this should help.

If I'm using
if(self != top ){
top.location.href = location.href;
}
what is the basic code to look at the top URL,
say for example cnn.com, and based on that
return, spit it to a different place (undesired location)...
if (top.location.href == "http://cnn.com";) {
top.location.href = "http://www.gohere.com;
}
Something like that?

it is a ref to the location object. If you want, you can get the host by itself easily enough.
<script LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
if (window.top != window.self)
{
window.top.location="http://www.cnn.com";
}
</script>
