The best way to deal with content theft, is to have your site feed set on short.
If you have your feed set to full when splogs scrape your content they are getting your full content. Pankaj Saini was republishing my content without permission and the content from a missing children's site on his porn sites.
Grabbing content from feeds is a growing concern for many bloggers. Blog content theft is not just a tiny problem. Sploggers are making money off your hard work that you are creating. I don't know about you, but I resent this.
If your content is valuable to you then you should use short feeds. |

| Bill, you do publish an RSS feed and you have it set to full. Add atom.xml to the end of your url. |

You don’t need to change your page to add an RSS feed. Your blog already publishes one. Log into Blogger and click on settings and site feed. Set your feed to short. If you want to add a subscribe to feed button, you can do this by adding a button to your sidebar.

| So do you have any advice for people who've had their content stolen? You said your own content was being republished elsewhere...so how did you find out and what did you do to take care of the problem? |

Because he was scraping my content he was hotlinking to one of my images, so I replaced the original image, with a very unpleasant image that was then displayed on Pankaj Saini’s websites.
In order to get the content removed, my husband Shawn contacted one of the administrators of one of the porn affiliate programs who contacted Mr. Pankaj Saini on our behalf.
Panki did remove my content. Panki was using black-hat SEO tactics to get search engine traffic and at the same time infringing upon the rights of many authors.
Lorelle on Wordpress has a helpful post on"What Do You Do When Someone Steals Your Content."
She suggests all the things that I would, so I do recommend that you check out her post. |

| Rss is beneficial to your blog, therefore I recommend publishing one. Blog search also indexes blogs by their RSS feed. If you have yours set to none then chances are your blog will not be indexed in Blogger search. The "None" option turns your site feed off entirely. |

| As a person who lives on RSS feeds, I personally find it very annoying when bloggers use short feeds. If a site does not use a full feed, I won't subscribe at all. You should use them in full or not at all. If you are that worried about your content being stolen, there are plugins for Wordpress that will amend a short bit at the bottom crediting your site, and ask for those who see the message to report the offender. |

Two websites had a habit of republishing my content without permission. Mike I don’t know about you, but I don’t have the time to continue to chase people down who scrape my content.
Knowing that someone was scraping a post I made about my 16 year old daughter and using it on a porn site, pissed me off.
Why on earth would I continue to let someone use a scraper and make money off of my blog content or worst yet use it to promote porn?
Thirdly, I don’t know if you have ever had your content scraped, but I have and it is not easy to get the content removed.
I already use the copyright plugin on my site. I still highly recommend that Blogger set their feeds to short. The best way to deal with the Adsense blogs that are deliberately spamming the blogosphere with their stupid splogs and making money from bloggers is to publish feed on short.
Anyhow I wrote this post to offer advice not start a debate. |
