Help! I'm Being Scraped!


That's right. My blog is being scraped. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it means a site or sites are stealing my content, posting it on their site (frequently without attribution), and therefore violating copyright law. Worse, however, is that the Google search engine doesn't like duplicate content. So it could potentially hurt me in the future.

So while I hate to do it, I feel I have no choice but to switch to a partial feed. That way, the scrapers will only get part of my content, and hopefully bugger off, if you know what I mean. I have contacted the host of one such site and reported them. I don't have a lot of faith it will do much good though.

I'll keep you posted. I hope if you subscribe to Work at Home Mom Revolution, you will continue to subscribe. I value every single one of my subscribers.

Update: Well, Blogger is not letting me switch to a partial feed. I'll have to investigate a workaround. Hmm.
