Hi, I recently noticed that as soon as I publish a new post on my WP Blog, I get some trackbacks from "Spam-Blogs" (blogs that publish a short excerpt from my article and link back to me. Often with is a fake author name or "unknown"). I believe this is done automaticly with a software that scans for certain topics. Questions: 1) what can I do about it? 2) does it harm me in any way (at least there is a link back to me, even with a false name)? 3) is there a plugin that prevents them from doing this? 4) what are they getting out of this? Thx, Eddie
I was also having a similar issue and posted it here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=414892 seems the site copying me went down or has exceeded its bandwidth
you add copyright message and link back to u in your feeds by using post post plugins then any sploggers who automatically uses your rss feeds to write post would get that copyright messages and link appear in post...so u get many backlinks and people know that post is yours
