If they have linked to certain blogs, social media websites, ask yourself why have they done this. Answer: to reinforce the keywords they are optimising. SEO is basically a guessing game - trying to achieve the best page rank and generate the most amount of traffic possible. Before implementing any keywords into your website, it is essential to complete research into your chosen market. The links mentioned above are great at providing data about backward links.

Can you explain how to use Google blog search a little more? I went to http://blogsearch.google.com/ and then clicked on Advanced Blog Search then I entered my blog URL under find posts > with all of the words. Is this correct? Also, I cannot seem to find the "dupe content filter"? Hi Joost! Can you explain how to use Google blog search a little more?

Do a Whois lookup, and send an email. this sometimes works. - Exclude the scraper from accessing your pages through robots.txt - Always put a copyright notice on your blog, so that if you would like to take legal actions, you have some arguments.These are just my thought.You can always report the scraper to the Search engines as well.Cheers DG @Drew Stauffer

There are a couple of things you can do.

- Just ask the scraper to stop. Do a Whois lookup, and send an email. this sometimes works.
- Exclude the scraper from accessing your pages through robots.txt
- Always put a copyright notice on your blog, so that if you would like to take legal actions, you have some arguments.

These are just my thought.

You can always report the scraper to the Search engines as well.

Now a year later I have completely changed my mind set. I hate scrapers.

Now that you've given us the tools to find these scrapers, is their anything bloggers can do to protect themselves?

I've also started to download your WP plugins to combat scrapping, spam etc.One thing that I just don't get at the minute is what to apply the 'nofollow' tag to (I use your plugin)? Having read comments on Google's webmaster pages, they seem to be saying 'don't worry too much about duplicate content on your site'. However, I accept your argument that one doesn't want 'everything' indexed, especially the same post again and again when listed in several locations - home page, post page, category page, archive page etc.If it helps, my latest site is at www.freetickets.org.uk - appreciate any comments. Joost - Great post, thank you.

One day, some links show up, the next day it will be others, occasionally none will show up. Have you noticed this as well? Now, I don't have too many links in there at this point, so maybe it's more noticeable for me, but it's quite strange.
