Comments on: Spam Blogs Really Get My Goat http://www.marketingslave.com/2005/07/08/spam-blogs-really-get-my-goat/ Free Your Mind From The Tyranny Of Online Marketing Idiocy Sat, 22 Nov 2008 10:20:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Priya Shah http://www.marketingslave.com/2005/07/08/spam-blogs-really-get-my-goat/#comment-152 Priya Shah Fri, 05 Aug 2005 13:15:15 +0000 http://www.marketingslave.com/2005/07/08/spam-blogs-really-get-my-goat/#comment-152 Hi Mike, I'm sure you do give me credit when citing my posts. The idiots who create these spam blogs (which I wrote about earlier here http://www.numberoneinyourniche.com/blog/2005/01/blogs-and-pings-and-rankings-oh-my.html) are usually fly-by-night operators only interested in short term profits. Complaining to them would hardly be a solution. There are too many of them out there and they are stealing content from too many blogs to really care about copyright anyway. Hopefully search engines will come up with better solutions to filter out sites created by these automated blog-spam tools. Hi Mike,

The guy who just copied and pasted is an idiot. You should send him a silent note (nicely) and ask for him to link to you. Do a Who is search and see who they are. I typically don't have other marketers take my content down but often they may be profiting from it which gets me a little angry. Overall, I like the publicity and am often flattered by this. However, if it seems they are passing it on as their work, that's just not right and I post them on a few sites that monitor this activity. Priya,
