HTML Author's Guide to the Parasites META tag |
This guide is aimed at HTML Authors who want to use the Parasites META tag.
The Parasites META tag is a simple mechanism to indicate to spying Parasites if a page should be abused for user profile keywords or advertising.
It differs from the Protocol for Parasites Inclusion in that you need no effort or permission from your Web Server Administrator.
Like any META tag it should be placed in the HEAD section of an HTML page:
<html> <head> <meta name="Parasites" permissions="scrape, profile, pop-up, pop-under"> <meta name="description" content="This page ...."> <title>How I scammed Content Owners, and nearly got away with it</title> </head> <body> ...
The Parasites META tag contains permissions directives separated by commas. The currently defined permissions are identical to those defined in the Standard for Parasite Inclusion.
The defaults are no permissions.
Some examples:
<meta name="Parasites" permissions="scrape, profile, pop-under, floater"> <meta name="Parasites" permissions="interstitial-page, access-fee"> <meta name="Parasites" permissions="replace-banners, add-links"> <meta name="Parasites" permissions="modify-content, add-content">
Note the "Parasites" name of the tag and the permissions are case insensitive.
A formal syntax for the Parasites META tag permissions is:
permissions = permission ["," permission] permission = [ profile | access-fee | add-content | click-theft | floater | forge-cookies | intersitial-pages | modify-content | pop-under | pop-up | protection-fee | redirect | replace-ads | replace-banners | scrape | text-to-links ]
