I've got a dozen or so articles I've previously written, and they all get the expected traffic and clicks, I suppose, with a CTR of between 5% to 30%, and the very occasional click to my Publisher link However, I just launched a new blog so I wrote two more articles with the last paragraph linking to my blog twice, and my signature with a third link. After just two days I have had about 60 or so views on each, but both have had 50% clicks to the Publisher link, but one story has had zero, the other just two, clicks to my new blog. What's going on? The only other clue is that I spotted a splog picked up one of the two articles and processed it through a thesaurus that replaced every third or fourth word with a synonym.
Don't you hate it when someone rips off your stuff? It's becoming so common these days. Some people just have no morals and no conscience whatsoever. Imagine being so lame that you had to steal someone elses article. On top of that, they're so lame they couldn't even re-word it themselves. Anyway, hope you catch them out. Goodluck Ben
