Other articles now have: <EM>This article comes from:</EM> and a url.<BR/><BR/>Violet especially, you mentioned the rel=nofollow and now I wonder if adding a link to where the article originally came from, while giving credit doesn't also increase page ranks or something. Then again it might just be a response by them to match up to Googleads' expectation.<BR/><BR/>Suggestions?

Maybe they intend to compensate you with FREE Pen1s Enlargement.<BR/><BR/>A couple of things:<BR/><BR/>Linking to the ripoff page as you've done has the potential to improve their PageRank; you should probably add rel="nofollow" to your anchor tag.<BR/><BR/>Also, as far as I can tell, the WordPress team / Wordpress.com doesn't have anything to do with WordPress Direct, so they probably aren't the ones who suck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506995090336963455.post-58356404080802641802009-03-08T04:31:00.000-04:002009-03-08T04:31:00.000-04:00HeavyArmor:I did look up splogs and it seemed to f...<STRONG>HeavyArmor:</STRONG><BR/><BR/>I did look up splogs and it seemed to fit the situation - but yes, they're not hosted by Wordpress and I came to the conclusion that other than contacting googleads there wasn't much point - especially since their contact information seems to lead right back to a domain they might own (not quite sure on that).<BR/><BR/>Best response I've read online has been to put some kind of notice at the bottom of every entry and to almost always include links back to myself to make it obvious to anyone reading the scraped content that it is not original at all.Avalon's Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07539301720154191607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506995090336963455.post-10778037388351966552009-03-07T23:13:00.000-05:002009-03-07T23:13:00.000-05:00ugh >.<;;I've had sites copy word4word m...ugh >.<;;<BR/><BR/>I've had sites copy word4word my posts too...

As in, copy and pasted from blog entries across the web at random.<BR/><BR/>It is both copyright infringement and "content theft." However, to use the DCMA means that you are registering an actual legal complaint, which means that you have to identify yourself as a complaintant (thus the need for "personal information"). However, seeing as this site is housed and served from the nation of China, the likelihood of the site being taken down or "blacklisted" or its content removed is slim to almost none.<BR/><BR/>And there you have it.Heavy Armorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12753726301435923033noreply@blogger.com
