Hello,

One of my sites went from page 1 to page 4 recently. I checked my links in webmaster tools and I have hundreds of links to a site I have never heard of. I went to the site and it is an autoblog that is using me as a source for its content...

Is there anything I can do about this??

HELP!!!

Thanks

    I have this same problem form multiple autblogs scraping my content. Other then reporting it to their hosting provider I'm not sure what we can do.

      Thanks for the quick reply! I suppose that may be my only option...

    Are they stealing the content or getting it from your RSS feeds?

    Exactly where on your site are the links to the other site?

      I am not sure exactly how an autoblog works but their site actually says "autoblog" in the upper right hand corner, I think it just grabs content from posts I make on my site, then on their site it looks like "comments"

    Check your log for their IP.
    Then try banning that IP from your site.
    I do that every day to ban spammers using my .htaccess. That's something like:

    Code:
    Order Allow,Deny

Allow from all

Deny from 173.212
Deny from 66.197.227
Deny from 96.9.173
Deny from 184.82.79

    Do you use Facebook ? Then you can make money just by inviting people to a Facebook group ! It's called the Instant Income System. How cool is that?
