Autoblog scraping my articles and removing resource box

4 replies
Is there anything that can be done about people with autoblogs scraping your articles without giving you credit? I've found someone that's taken all of mine and badly spun them (they don't even read as English anymore) and removed my links. Can I report them somehow? Maybe to ezinearticles? Or is it easier to just forget about it?

      I'd forget about it.

      A certain percentage of all of the articles you write will get scammed...but most will get put on pages with the your link intact.

      Time is better spent putting out new content.

      Ezine articles can't do anything and it isn't the problem of directory owners. Apart from issuing a cease and desist to the offending sites you could complain to their hosts. But it happens so often now because of the upsurge in scraping software you are better off forgetting it and writing new content.

      This isn't what the op is talking about and the method on that site is downright nasty. If you have an RSS feed then you should expect others to link to it. You are getting a link back which is like a vote of confidence for your content. If you don't want that to happen then take the RSS feed out.
