It’s a dark and dangerous world out there, and all sorts of people would love to steal your content for their own aims (making ad revenue, gathering search engine traffic, etc.)
I’d write a post about how to stop content theft, but The Blog Herald already did a bang-up job of it yesterday. Check out The 6 Steps to Stop Content Theft.
The overview (with details on each at the originating site) is:
- find out who is copying your stuff
- preserve the evidence
- copy the plagiarist first (if practical)
- contact the plagiarist’s advertisers
- contact the plagiarist’s host
- contact the search engines
Glad you liked the article and thanks for the link! I appreciate any and all aid getting the word out!
Tim,
