1) stop "reading up" on SEO on the internet. really. just stop it. now.

80% of everything written about SEO on the internet is bullshit (this means 8 out of the 10 articles you have read reduce your knowledge about SEO (and the web in general))

2) never ever mention the word page rank again. page-rank is thought-cancer (and does not mean what you think it means)

3) your site is indexed via your IP address http://173.254.8.113/, this site ranks for your obscure long tail search term. make a canonical tag to your main domain. then our site will rank for your obscure long tail search term. to understand canonical tags go to http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.ch/2010/09/seo-starte... download the PDF and read it front to cover.

4) if you want to understand SEO, read a book http://www.amazon.com/Search-Engine-Marketing-Inc-Companys/d...

last but not least: stop worrying and complaining about scrapper sites. they are here to stay. try to make the best shop website around.

and as a side note: with a high probability your blogpost will - from now on - rank for "high quality Bitcoin hat" as it reached the front page of HN (it will get distributed a lot, via scrappers, HN web-app-websites, ...) and the blog post has - compared to your shop start page and your shop page - textual content.
