    Thanks for the call out on Dating Dames. The one thing I made sure I did prior to making that particular post was to report them through their Google Ads. Hopefully all these efforts combined will help :)

    Thanks again for all your efforts

    Gayla,

    Just a heads up on this one, to get Google Adsense to respond to your request, you most likely will need to file a DMCA complaint with them. It's a pain, especially since it has to be faxed or mailed in and is legally dubious, and I've written about it before here:

    Give it a look if you're interested and, if you need any help, don't hesitate to send me an email.

    Good luck with your scraper!

    Worthwhile read. Thanks for writing on this topic.

    I've heard of linking back to yourself periodically for this and other reasons. And I'd heard that duplicate content lowers your search engine rank.

    What I hadn't thought about was how readers might be turned off by reading a warning. I tend to write whatever I want without thought to who my readers are and what they want to read. Obviously I'll have to try a little harder if I want to increase and maintain a large readership.

    Thanks again for this insightful article.

    I'm thinking of turning off full post feeds because of this.

    I fear the problem is much more basic. Maybe these strategies do not work as well as they should, because most of the readers plagiarize, themselves! This is a question of values, and I get the sense that more and more people simply do not see anything wrong with plagiarism. Until we fix *that* problem, we are basically taking water out of the boat with a bucket to keep the Titanic from sinking. :-(
