It really peeves me. For God's sake, be original. Don't be lazy. Write your own content. I’ve been finding “splogs” or scrapers of my site popping up recently. It really peeves me.

There are plenty of blogs out there accused of scraping but their purpose isn't to steal content, but rather to find, monitor, and link to content in a particular subject.Plus the links are good because you are linked to from a page packed full of keywords related to your article.Also if you are seeing the links on your wordpress dashboard that means those sites are helping the authority of your own blog.Scraping to steal content isn't cool but you got to distinguish between that and linking to your articles and fully giving you credit!

Plus the links are good because you are linked to from a page packed full of keywords related to your article.

Also if you are seeing the links on your wordpress dashboard that means those sites are helping the authority of your own blog.

Scraping to steal content isn’t cool but you got to distinguish between that and linking to your articles and fully giving you credit!

Amazon was linking in their developer section to a blog article that was scraped from a prominent internet marketer. I only noticed because I read the article and remembered reading it on someone else's blog. Searched the title and sure enough!Amazon was very quick to respond to my email and fix it, but that's not always the case. I only bothered contacting because Amazon is so huge I didn't want to see a scraper get good traffic from them or link juice. I think it’s terrible!
