I was very unamused when this morning I discovered on my stats that someone had visited one of my blogs on the term “make money stealing content websites“.

Well I am sure that they were a “bounce”, or if not maybe I converted them to better ways. After all, there are details on my blogs as to how to revenge someone who is stealing content, but other than passing comments on how these people are using RSS Feeds, no more details.

Not that it really takes much imagination to work it out. And that is the problem – it is so easy to steal the content and to make money from it, the only problem is making sure that you are the number 1 blog when people are searching for various terms.

It is a very lazy way to work and I do wonder if we all kept out eyes open for stolen content and raised DMCA complaints every time (easy to do) whether the hosts would put paid to the blogs stealing content?

Also, if we dropped into our posts references back to our own blogs so that it was obvious that the posts were stolen, would that put the readers off the blogs and direct them back to the original sources? Time will tell.
