    Option 5 all the way. Without a doubt.

    Some twat kept doing this to us month after month through eBay, so I got sick of this company using ~1gb of bandwidth a month from directly linking our images on their eBay auctions. So a bit of mischievous activities entailed, and before I knew it - the guy was selling an aquarium with a naked shemale too. Turns out after I complained using our company eBay account and my own eBay account, they got banned. First, I complained about them using our bandwidth and breaking eBay regulations by adding images directly in to listings. Then I complained on my personal account that this guy was selling an aquarium with a shemale.

    LMAO - still makes me laugh, every day:D

    I am a bit confused as to what the problem is. Is he CLAIMING the article as his creation? If it came thru RSS, what do you think RSS is for? Why are you on Google News in the first place? If your referral link is in tact, then you ARE getting credit for it. Why did you write the article for in the first place? It completely original and unique, or was it sourced from PLR or PD?

    Sorry, I am sure there is something I am missing... still...

    No, it was me who changed it back. briteday was right about RSS and it turns out they did give me some credit so I don't mind them doing this. Originally I thought this was a direct ripoff due to some difference between the article and the RSS version. This has now been sorted.

    Ah! is it the How to appear on Google news to get flooded with traffic and backlinks post? supposedly by Admin?

    Yeah, okay. Maybe that should have some kind of credit to you on there. And, if it is a bandwidth issue, that I can see. But still, man, your clickbank link is in tact at bottom... isn't THAT what you are going for? Why are you trying to complicate a successful viral marketing? This could very well be innocent (or naive). Oh well. Good luck regardless.

    Ask for a link to credit you for the article. It's all about the link whoring.

    Seems I arrived too late and the fun is over. But I was going to suggest putting a close up picture of your face staring angrily. So when people read it , they were like wtf.

    Oh and spidey, that is hilarious.

    I would go with option 5, but keep it "R" rated in case young'ins happen upon it.

    It looks like I will have to put the pic back up. He decided to change his theme and copy my "about me"

    Compare this about me * with mine at Exposed seo :D

    All credit has been removed as well... FUN TIME!
