Stolen Content: What To Do
I had my make money online review blog content stolen a couple of months ago and found a lot of advice on what to do when your content gets stolen. When someone steals your content, it is usually by RSS feed especially if you provide full RSS feed. Scrapers use a plugin that automates the stolen content to be posted via RSS since the the scraper blog most likely steals content from many blogs.
Make Stolen Content Link Back To You
Use this WordPress plugin RSS Footer to add a link on your post which links back to your site. You can either add the link at the beginning or end of the post. This will effectively give you a back link even if it is from a scraper blog.
Popular Targets For Stolen Content
A most basic way of checking if your blog content has been stolen is to simply copy and paste the first few sentences of your post into Google search. You can also use Copyscape to trace your stolen blog content. If you own a tech or make money online review blog, you are a likely target for scraper blogs.
