Open Blog

One of the most annoying problems we bloggers can come accross is content-stealing, people that directly copy and paste our posts. Specially when these people don’t link back to our blogs, this could negatively impact us.

Google could go wrong and think the original authors of the content are the stealers, something that could drive anyone really mad.
There are ways to prevent them from doing this.

Most people who steal content doesn’t actually copy/paste with the keyboard (lol), these people use to use feed or rss so the systems make the copy automatically, and we can take advantage of this, but how?
The ideal solution would be to create a link back to our page, so when they copy our content, a link addressing our page will be copied too, and this will show Google who is the original author.

You can do this manually, but let’s take a better way. There’s a WordPress plugin that does this for us. What it does is to place a link to our own site at the same time the post is printed, this will make that whoever copy our post will link back to us automatically, and the search engines will know we are the original authors of the posts.

Here’s the download link.
