Has Your Blog Content Been Stolen?

The first thing I do when I go online is to check my emails. The first email I read took me to a chess game that I’ve been having with my blogger mate Mitch. Imagine my surprise when he warned me that my content was being pilfered by some low life.

All in all the person has stolen 10 of my posts. By the looks of things, seeing as how he’s posted a whole heap of content all on the same day, I would say that he has also stolen content from other bloggers as well.

I don’t want to send him traffic he doesn’t deserve, but I feel some of you guys may recognize some of the posts so that you can warn others that their content had been stolen.

Duplicate Content And Article Theft

I read a post today on duplicate content and Google’s possible reaction to it and it got me to thinking. I thought that the consequences of having duplicate content on your blog goes way beyond what Google thinks and has everything to do with what your readers think about it. I’m not talking about those of you who have multiple blogs that duplicate their own articles. Heck, even I do that as it’s added exposure and it is also interesting to see the reaction it gets on each blog. Having said that, I do try to add additional content, whether it’s in the form of an introduction or just something new that came to me when transferring the post.

I don’t even have a problem with bloggers who copy and paste entire articles as their post, apart from the fact that I think they are going way beyond being what I consider to be a lazy blogger. What I do have a problem with is when they do not mention that the article is not their own thereby letting their readers assume that it is actually original content. This goes beyond plagiarism as it can only be considered content theft.

I prefer to link to an article that I really like rather than taking the easy way out and just doing a copy and paste. The benefit to this is that it allows me to add my own thoughts to the article I am linking to resulting in my own original content, something that I believe many readers prefer. You could also do a direct quotation from part of the article as long as you give attribution to the original author. You should never, ever post an article leaving others to believe it is your own because when you are found out, and you will be found out, you would have ruined all your credibility as a professional blogger.
