<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hey, my lovelies.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a little aggravated at the moment. I log on to check my blog for comments, stats, etc., and in my stats I see that another site referred someone to my blog. &#8220;How nice,&#8221; I thought, &#8220;let&#8217;s see what this site is all about.&#8221; So, I click the link only to find that my <strong>entire blog</strong> is embedded on this website that has more ads than PerezHilton.com. Can you believe that some people have the nerve to steal the work of someone else to try and profit from it?!</p>
<p>I work hard to share my passion with all of you and it really disgusts me that someone would do such a thing. Stealing the work of others is <strong>never</strong> cool. I was going to show you all a screen grab of the site, but then decided against it. They don&#8217;t deserve the publicity.</p>
<p>If someone wants to take something from my blog, please give me credit and link back to this site. Don&#8217;t blatantly steal my work, or anyone else&#8217;s for that matter. Being a thief makes you lazy, but never beautiful.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading. I really needed to get that off my chest.</p>
<p>Linkage roundup coming later tonight. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://news.stepforth.com/blog/2005/10/splogs-scraping-adsense-fraud.php" target="_blank">http://news.stepforth.com/blog/2005/10/splogs-scraping-adsense-fraud.php</a></p>
<p>Check out this very informative article on &#8220;splogs&#8221; &#8211; blogs that are automated to &#8220;scrape&#8221; (steal) content from genuine blogs for AdSense revenue. I&#8217;ve noticed a few of my other blogs that have been scraped, and it bugs me to no end that people are so desperate to make a quick buck that they&#8217;ll go to these lengths to get it.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a few things you can do to &#8220;combat&#8221; scraping:</p>
<ol>
<li>Use internal linking within your blog posts. Why? Well, if another site is going to grab my content and use it for their shady benefit, than the least I can do is get some use out of it. When my content is scraped, it&#8217;s reposted in it&#8217;s entirety. Although, I get a linkback to this blog, I can add an additional step to KEEP people on my <a href="http://thesecurrentevents.wordpress.com">blog</a>: add links to other posts INSIDE of each post. That way if someone happens to land on a scraped blog, reads my ever-so-interesting content and clicks a link in my post, they&#8217;re transported from the splog, to the GENUINE  <a href="http://thesecurrentevents.wordpress.com">blog</a>, MINE!</li>
<li>Use copyright notices in your feed or in each post. You can also grab a <a href="http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/wordpress-plugin-to-automatically-add-copyright-message-to-your-rss-atom-feeds/" target="_blank">plugin</a> that does this.</li>
</ol>
<p>These simple steps make it harder for readers of splogs to miss the fact that the content they are reading comes from an actual blog, not just an automated script. They will be more likely to visit the source of the content and stay there.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em>&#8220;With this, it becomes obvious both to readers and to search engines where the articles really come from… and, incidentally, it also makes every stolen post link to me.&#8221;</em></strong> -<a href="http://www.thetlog.net/2006/08/29/how-to-stop-people-from-stealing-your-blogs-content/" target="_blank">www.thetlog.net</a></p></blockquote>
