Few days ago, the Intellectual Property Rights Awareness Campaign was launched in order to promote awareness and educate as many SL residents as possible about content theft and its consequences. For this purpose, several ads were made that feature some of the well established content creators that were victims of content theft - Tigerlily Koi and Haedon Quine of Calla, Minnu Palen of Minnu Model Skins, Sachi Vixen and Damen Gorilla of Adam n Eve, Caliah Lyon of Muse Fine Jewelry, Nyte Caligari of Nyte'N'Day, and Stroker Serpentine of Strokerz Toyz. You can join this campaign and help reaching fellow SecondLifers by picking up your IP rights campaign kit, which can be found on OnRez, as well as in-world. You can distribute the ads to your friends, to other content creators, to your group
I said I'd make one last post on...
This blog is about urban gardening, nature, garden photography,indoor gardening and plant propagation. Due to content scrapers I've decided to shorten my feed, sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. I hope you continue to subscribe to my feed and visit my blog to comment on the entries and view the photos of my plants.
This week there was 2 post from my blog which was repeated on another blog. I can say that it was not word for word but the idea and concept was literally the same. All the blogger did was re worded and switched around some sentences to make it seem as if it was his own content. I was a little annoyed because all my postings are base on my experiences from what I did or what I didn’t do. This specific blogger actually took the content and simply added his own touch to the subject.
It seemed the blogger just read my post - after grasping the idea added his own form of touch to it keeping some of the content from my blog. The funny part is this specific blogger did not change anything - he simply just copied, paste, and post. With him doing that he copied all my external links and blog affiliate system links. This caused a trackback to my blog and I usually visit these blogs that link back to my post, I am just curious as to what they may have to say.
Upon visiting this specific bl
How annoying it is, spending an awful amount of time researching and writing articles for your Blog, only to find out that some people have stolen your articles and reproduced them in their blogs as though they wrote them. Over the weekend, we decided to take action against one of the several “thieves” and we relate our experience here so that you have an idea how you should proceed when you
So in the shopautodotca seocontest I had my first experience with content theft. And now I have learnt about web page hijacking. There are many ways that someone can "hijack" your page and this is something that needs to be kept in mind by professional SEO and personal webmasters/bloggers.I found some good info here:Hijacking Web PagesSo basically, there are many ways that another site can make your site content appear to be their own. This can cause your site to be devalued in the search engines and in some cases it appears that they can steal your PR. Apparently in 2005 Google corrected this problem, but I read mixed reviews as to whether this is the case.How did my shopautodotca seocontest site become victim to hijacking?Well I submitted it to a directory called Canuckster, and while it is in the directory, they also have my site in a frames page on another domain too. So it is my fault for putting it in this directory. You would have to visit the link to see. But keep in mind, when
I think it's taking a couple of days for Technorati to pick up on this post and the inadvertent link, but someone has completely lifted a post from SA Rocks. To the point that they are using the photo which is hosted on the SA Rocks server.
I am extremely grateful that Kidtivity enjoyed the post so much that they lifted it verbatim but I am somewhat upset at the blatant and shameless lifting of
