[...] People (or bots) are ripping the content. Google has made it clear that sploggers will not affect your ranking. It is easier to steal content using a full content feed, but why let a few bastards stealing content ruin it for the rest of the readers? Furthermore, if people want to rip-off your content, they will. A partial feed is not going to stop a ripper from going to your site, going to View-Source, and copying your content. [...]

Very good news, now I don’t have to worry about one site I found this week that was scraping post from one of my site that winded its way to Topix.

Motor de cautare personalizat pentru optimizatori…

Am folosit facilitatea de personalizare a Google pentru a construi un motor de cautare care include doar site-urile de interes (cel putin cele pe care le urmaresc eu, mai des sau mai rar) – SEO Community Search Engine.

I set up a site that serves as a repository of all the articles I post across all the blogs I write to – I guess this isn’t allowed?

hmm.. so its much likely they’ll filter than kick out of the index…

I’ve a query…
Like one owns a PR 6 site… and they pick up an article from a very new blog(within an hour its posted). Its much likely that gooogle will crawl and index PR6 website much earlier than that blog page.

Does that means the blog site(or a PR 0 site) will be filtered out of the results. They didnt make it clear how they filter..

you have any idea?

The scraping of content via RSS feeds is annoying to say the least, and especially if you regularly write unique content yourself, and then someone creates a blog, uses your RSS feed and slaps Adsense all over your content.

It’s good to know that Google is aware of such sites.

Great Post! I know alot of bloggers are wondering about this. The bottom-line always remains the same, if you are honest you have nothing to worry about!

“Duplicate Content” is an interesting euphemism. They called it plagiarism when I was in school. I understand that some lack the language with which to express themselves, but really! Stealing verbatim the work of another is simply tacky. Reprehensible, even.An exception to the “Imitation is the greatest form of compliment” adage.

That is welcome news about the scraping… our site usually has more links from nasty little sorts who are grabbing random text than it does from legit places. I’ve had more than one fantasy about dumping a bucket of pixels over their heads…

And what about redirects? I have my own domain registered that redirects to my Typepad blog, and I’ve been told before that Google doesn’t like the type of redirect that GoDaddy.com uses because it’s classified as “temporary”.

Any opinion on whether the “DupPrevent ” Wordpress plugin is worthwhile?
