Should I be Flattered?

Hi,

I have been submitting many articles on one particular niche lately and I noticed a wee while back, on my ezine account that I had one subscriber. I wondered could it really be a punter wanting to genuinely read my (fantastic) articles? I decided to check in google for a few of my (quite recently submitted) articles to see the results for them.

Lo and behold, there was a website with every single one of my articles, on this particular subject, was in their site. I quickly checked to see if they had kep my link, and they had! So I am happy and am pretty sure that this is the "subsciber".

It's nice to know that some people keep the links in. I have seen many of my articles been stripped of the link (or the link power) being removed, just as annoying. Another new phenomena that I have come asscross is people using your title and summary for their website (obviously no credit to the author here.)

I probably shouldn't be wasting my time checking these things but I put quite a bit of effort into my articles as I go for quality as opposed to quantity, but I can't afford to be precious about it in the IM game and this time it worked out.

Anyway just wondered what others' views were on the matter.
