Anyone who has been blogging for more than 90 days or so has likely seen their work sucked up and re-appropriated on a spam blog. (In fact, I’m pretty sure this article will end up on one or more, ironically.) I noticed on Twitter the other day someone asking how to deal with these people, who use your hard work to improve their keyword positioning. They are most certainly thieves.

Heck, your blog doesn’t have to be 90 days old to attract sploggers. One of mine is just 2 weeks old and I’m already finding its content scraped and posted on a Malaysian blog. Still, very good advice especially for folks who don’t know they can use Jools’ plugin to turn those scraped entries into incoming links.

I love the idea of adding links to your posts, so when you get spammed hopefully they pick it up too. Alternatively, most of the spam blogs that have attacked me have only used snippets of text, not the whole article.
