    Is this an "Auto blog"? because I noticed it is just getting latest posts from many sites/blogs.

    It is taking posts from my blog too.

    Is this thing called AutoBlogging?

    Looks like it, and that is why so many people hate them and have utter disgust for the lazy people who start them just to plop up some adsense and try to make money using other peoples work.

    Aactually I have an idea.

    See, this blog is getting "Latest" posts from different blogs and I guess it is using RSS feeds to know which blog has new post.

    I was wondering that I should make a page let say "Forum Sitemap" and on that page there should be the same script which this blog is running to get the latest post.

    When any new thread is posted on my forum it will automatically be published on that page as well and it will work like a sitemap for my forum with unlimited pages

    Are you getting my idea? Is it possible?

    Use it to your advantage. Put your link in your posts - this way you will get a lot of backlinks from this site. Interlink to content on your site, and so people go to your site :) etc etc, easy backlinks
    Edit: I didn't realize the links went directly to your site, maybe the above ideas wont work then. :p

    Hmm.. But if they link directly to your website, won't you gain backlinks then? Or it seems like they are using some kinda URL mask when you click on their links.. Maybe that won't generate backlinks, then :(

    From what i see when you click a link it goes to the site it published the post... so it's ok, you have more visitors.

    Yes, if they do direct link to my website it will be a backlink.

    But I am asking "what script is that" and also "can I use it as a sitemap"?

    At least they are linking back to you, I had someone taking my stuff from one of my blogs, and automatically re-writting the link out, and then saying his blog did the post.

    Thieving little you know what.

    The'ye probably RSS feeds, I think it's good for you since he's linking to you hopefully leaving a link back to you giving you credit for that post. If that blog only gets RSS feeds then it's not good for SEO and it's a SPAM blog I think.

    So it doesn't bother you that he is using your content to get clicks to his ads? That is possibly money from search traffic that should be going in your pocket, since that is your headline, and you created the content.

    Nope, I have no problem because

    1. There are 10000s of such blogs, how many blogs I can stop?

    2. He is not stealing my content, he is just collecting articles from net and putting on one site. If he published my work and says it is HIS work then I will definitely take action against him.
