    We all have our issues with scraper blogs. (Auto posted blogs that scrape content via RSS and steal content from other blogs).

    Looking at my stats on one of my blogs, I noticed that I picked up a link from a Squidoo lens. Upon investigation , it was a lens about a certain product that I actually sell, and it linked to an article via RSS that I wrote about it.

    I tracked a sale of the product coming from that very link. Ha !

    Moral of the story, if you are going are use other peoples content, or rely on RSS to post content to your blog, you may inevitably be shooting yourself in the foot and sending sales to another site, as in this case.

    Autoposting...sucks for you...good for me:)
