Today was a fine day, then I got back from work and found that there’s more evidence of blog robbing! Oh yes, you heard it, blog robbing! What’s blog robbing you ask? no? OK well I’ll tell you anyway then. Blog robbing is my not so perfect term for the process of actually stealing a post from a blog and posting it on your blog claiming it’s your post or at least ripping the post off fully, copying it then simply leading people to your site to view it, that’s nearly blog robbing, post robbing sounds like you sniff around letter boxes (mail boxes for you non English (UK) speaking readers).

The specific post was one titled “How to redirect a web page, the smart way” by Steven Hargrove, but I’m sure we all know of one or two.

The Question is, can we really stop it, or does it really matter?

Can we really stop it?

Well, I’d say no, we can’t. Unless we’re going to not stick the content online, we can never guarantee that it’s going to stay unique in content or style and form, or anything else for that matter either.

Does it really matter?

SEO wise it shouldn’t if the blog post is that precious to you that it’s unique in content and is popular quickly. I mean, if you stick a good post on your blog, your mate sees it and he blogs it/links to it, somebody Diggs it, a couple of Technorati tags are in place and anything else that can happen to a good read-worthy thread, you SHOULD find at least Google can spot it’s the first and original. In theory and trial I’m sure, only a much larger site with more status could ever fool the situation, and maybe if your site is really new then you don’t have much power at all, but a much bigger site wouldn’t need your content and if you site was so new maybe it wouldn’t be Dugg, have Tech links or get read much at all anyway really. Maybe there’s moral grounds that still apply though ay?
