Today I noticed that all the posts from my blog are being fully displayed on AdWhores.com. The thing is, nowhere on that site does it say the original source of the content (let alone link back to it.) Basically they are getting a lot of benefit but not giving any benefit back to the bloggers... With so many bloggers here, I was just wondering if anyone else is facing the same issue.
It's a big problem with these automated blogs that scour RSS feeds for new articles. I have quite a few of my posts get stolen and appear elsewhere. It is often difficult to get the perpetrator to remove your work from their blog, so I have a different strategy - I load my articles with internal links. That way when they get stolen I get a load of external non-reciprocal links in return. Every cloud has a silver lining!
least you can do is send a report to google or file a dmca complaint or it wouldn't really have an impact but sending an email to the owner that you have filed a report somehow could help.
Since this thread is back up, here's an update: Adwhores.com is no longer up, it must have been shut down a day or so after this thread started. Plus, I also checked and their PR5 is fake. So links from their site wouldn't have been all that great.
