There is a blog that keeps stealing my posts. Every single post I make it takes. I am sure they are using some kind of autoblogger... I don't want this person to be able to use my material anymore. Is there a way to block them?
What is the url of your blog and what is url of that blog. Most of the blog today are using feed wordpress to scrape and add their content
Hello videodoll, I am having the same problem with one of my blogs. Personally I detest those autoblogs and feel that most, if not all, of them are run by the laziest of all people
Oh... you're getting sabotaged by a friggin' autoblogger? Then do something like this! That should teach the lazy guy. Other things that you can do: - Block his blog's IP (this works, but some of the autobloggers find a way to get around it) - Report him to search engines/moneymaking programs that he use.
I just added the IP of that blog to the IP Deny in my hosts fantastico... The address is: 67.15.124.31 I looked in the http access log and that address does not show up anywhere. Does that mean this won't stop him from stealing my posts?
Thats a bank. Its most likely the site is aggregating your content, in other words its pulling your RSS feeds which is exactly what RSS is about.
Yea. One of the prices you pay for having an RSS feed is that you're giving content away. You can stop the feed or send out only snippets.
The Guy is using Google adsense . Get his Pub and email to adsense Regarding copyright infringment ..they will suspend his account and put a DMCA case on him . Thats the one way to hurt him !!
Instead of blocking then, just put your website info in the articles you write. Free advertising! What are you worried about?
Yes, use the copyright plugin to go with your feeds.. It's a cool way to promote your blog if you look at thigns that way...
Pay attention to the posts on that blog, each of the "Read More" links posts to a different site, what appears to be the sites the posts were taken from. If you're producing RSS feeds, reduce the amount of content in your feeds. Realisticly you shouldn't need any content other than titles in your feed if you write good titles, specially with a fun title topic like celebs.
