Are you saying they are framing or iframing DP on their blog? Doing so will provide them zero SEO benefit...
Well everything whats posted here gets auto posted on his blog there are like 5000+ posts on his blog. Digitalpoint forums might benefit a lot from it because they will have like 5000+ backlinks. But wondering if this is actually legal? And i have to say that blog is in 600-700k ALexa so it gets some nice traffic.
lot of people are running auto blogs and i c threads from this forum being published on other sites. this is work of scam artists who are up for a quick penny or 2. when it comes to legality, its really hard to chase and enforce the copywrite law always. how many people you are gonna go after? i myself found one so called SEO company copying one of my blogpost word for word and publishing it to their SEO site. i contacted them and demanded my post to be removed form their site otherwise i would file complaint with google under DMCA. they removed the post within hours but do i have time to look for who steals my content and go after all of them? thats not possible always. content thieves are not getting rich by running auto blogs, they will soon realize that and give up
Yes it's very unfortunate that some people are doing this because to come up with some quality content you need time effort and $$$$.
Just for the sake of fun I'll try it myself and promise to report the results here Can't provide the link but that blog is in 600k-700k rank by alexa
Then write me a PM. After thinking about it its actual very good way to build traffic if you know what to do with it
These forums are getting indexed, so scraping it wont do much good as its duplicate content and google hates it.
