Blogging, Technology Me and Analyzing Modern Design
2 Nov
What you do when you know someone steal your blog content? Popular or not your blog, the chances someone will steal your blog content and serve them as their blog content still high. Did you ever receive this kind of unusual comment or trackbacks;
Usually it will show only excerpt of your post and refer the link to back to your site. Maybe that is what Sploggers all about - a jargon term for me before this. Sploggers actually using “new” method to make trackbacks from your site and overcome the Akismet spam manager. Most of the trackbacks that I manage to track look like this;
1- Someone write an interesting post today, and this the quick excerpt.
2- Anonymous wrote good content today, all the details here.
But the best part, this kind of blogger also change my name, but refer the link back to my site. They change my name to Salman Gohir or something spell like that - that is a good name indeed. I almost forgot the last time I change my name.
Salman Gohir wrote interesting post today, here the quick excerpt (place a link to my site).
Lorelle VanFossen has written a useful post to help you report blog content thieves. I am sure this post will help me and those who fall victim to content thieves. You can read the rest at Reporting Blog Content Thieves.
1. One splog rips off content from many blogs, not just yours.
2. Report for those who don’t know they’ve been ripped off.
3. Report for those who do know but feel helpless in the face of so many.
4. Report for those who think reporting is useless.
5. Report for those who will be ripped off in the future as long as splogs continue to get away with it because no one reports them.
6. Report because it is your right to protect your work.
7. Report because splogs make thousands of dollars a year with your content.
8. Report because it is your content. You worked hard on it. It’s your words. Own them. Let their power work for you, not someone else who did nothing and gains everything.
The post will guide you step by step on how you can handle all the content thief, splogger or something related to that. Did you know according to one source, a splog blog could make over USD $50,000 just using other content. That lots of money for me.

I once wrote Money Making By Splogging and Keeping Out Sploggers.
A splog won’t make someone $50,000. It is the splog network that someone has that makes the $50,000. To make it easy, a splog can be making $5 per month but with 1000 splogs, they can make $5,000 per month.
Good trick in money making.
Sploggers (or whatever they are called) require content that can attract search engine traffic and then generate a click on an AD (may be Google adsense) … some even remove original writers name… too bad…
Jalaj-yes that truly bad thing to do.
Wayne-That is the way they earn money. An easiest way to make money.
As long as an excerpt splogger has a correct link back to your site, don’t worry about them. They aren’t violating any copyright laws any more than Google is by having a ‘quick excerpt’ of your post presented in their search engine. They’ll just provide you with another backlink that helps your position in Google results.
