Haha! Yes, and by us including links in our RSS, all those high quality scrapers are pointing links back to SEJ pages and other properties too ;)

I do think the scrappers actually help you, in a perverse way. Yes, they steel people’s content and this is amazingly unethical. But put some links to yourself in your content and at least you can charge them a little "rent" in exchange for their crime. But realize that the really crafty ones harvest through their stollen content and remove these. We’ve even seen our site completely replicated at Blogspot, but they took the time to photoshop our images and put their email addresses over our.. These were actually in images... Anyway - Do what you can because it WILL happen.

This is an awesome post.  I didn’t realize or even think about some of this scraper stuff.

Good post, but Socialmedian is not a scraper site. It’s a very good social site.

@onreact - that may well be the case - I’m not familiar with the site myself, it came up in the data as an authoritative domain that had duplicated the article (if memorty serves, it was the first 3 paragraphs with a link back to the original). While not a "scraper" site per se, they are duplicating content which passes value back to the original article. Here’s another example of a page that frankly, looks pretty scraped to me: http://www.socialmedian.com/story/1568420/roundup-thursday-for-the-week-of-11208

I am going to explore SEOMoz since I am a member. I didn’t even know SEOMoz had a social networking aspect to it.
