Well, my blog has been live 29 days and tomorrow marks a strong 1 month birthday for my blog and its surprising to see that I have seen some of my blog content being stolen. Last time when I had done a review for Online Opportunity for a contest he is running, I had received a pingback request from a website that seemed quite suspicious and don’t get me wrong, I don’t consider it stealing if you copy and paste my content but at least give proper credit and a link back. The reason I consider this stealing is because most of these websites do not have any legitimate content at all, what they do is take posts like mine and replace all the links in the post to some aspect of advertising and make money if you click on it. Also the websites are LOADED with advertisements all over the place.

For example, I recently did a review of Ms. Danielle for her Zune Contest and within 2 days the content was republished elsewhere where all the links to her blog were redirected to paid advertising instead. Instead of going to www.msdanielle.com they were redirected to pay-for ebooks or other random advertising. I don’t think this is fair to me as a blogger and to those individuals who I link to. Thereby, I basically wanted to point out such websites because I wouldn’t want others content to be stolen or used in any misappropriate way.

Here is a screenshot of what the stolen content for Ms.Danielle looked like. On the content all the links were wrongly linked but if you clicked on Read More it would come to my blog and that didn’t seem right to me. I have also blurred the URL of the website because I don’t like to defame individuals openly but at least the next time you come across something similar you may be more cautious about clicking on the links!
