hahahah that is a great response. Looks like Hal brought a knife to a gunfight.

“the name of the site is not called “I Hope I Can Please An Asshole Named Hal”.”

I’m going to be laughing at that comment all day.

I think having disclaimers and copyright laws visible on the site is of great help in preventing theft of data or pictures. As most of the people would think before getting into the illicit activity

I don’t think professional spammers care about breaching copyright laws. I know a spammer, who can copy a site’s content over to his site using his script. In that case the copyright notice won’t scare him off.

You could rather add Javascript to your site, which stops a user to copy paste anything. But i don’t recommend it.

Once your original article has been crawled by Search Engines, after that if anyone copies your work, Google would know, whose content is original.

And to get Google to crawl your new content quickly, use Google Sitemaps.

Wow I must admit this is a clever idea. It will definitely stop some content theft, but not all of it unfortunately, as there is no way to do so. At least I know that my content has less of a chance of appearing on someone elses site or blog. Thanks.

Haha, I am not sure if you have really stopped the content theft because according to Google, there are 907 results for “How I Stopped Blog Content Theft”! :p I guess at least 10% of them are scrapper sites!

I’ll keep this stuff in mind. I’m not that evil about my content, but I have some posts in my blog that are fairly unique. I guess I’ll use your advice. Thanks.

With spammers and plagiarists becoming more prolific and more aggressive than ever, content theft is no longer a matter of “if”, but “when”.

The copyright is a great idea.

Sometimes content theft not so bad. I have heard a case that somebody earn from it when the steal content is included with his referral links.
