Scraping
At least, that’s what I think it’s called. When a blog uses your content on another site. I keep getting pingbacks from blogs with the following text:
Why I FAILED wrote an interesting post today on Heres a quick excerptNo Reason At All 6th October 2007, 04:00 pm There is absolutely no reason for this particular;
The text itself doesn’t really matter. The bit that seems to be consistent is the part reading “Why I Failed” that’s what told me that this wasn’t legit - multiple pingbacks, multiple blogs. And the blogs themselves have no content. Very odd. Fortunately, Spam Karma 2 by Dr Dave catches them all after a training session and it’s just a matter of marking them a spam manually. Nothing major, just very annoying.
