Thanks for the tip Brian.

I tend to use Google Blog search more than I use copyscape myself Jonathon.

Damien it happens to me all too often.

My pleasure Bob and you never know.

Lorelle, thanks for the tip and the article.

Thanks Steven and blue. I’ll keep that in mind.

I definitely favor Google Alerts over Copyscape. Unless you can afford to pay for your Copyscape searches, it is almost useless for a blogger.

As far as what I do when someone steals my content, I think my record on that speaks for itself…

A really quick and simple way to check if someone is stealing your content is to do a search for a phrase “in quotes” that is likely to be unique to your post. If you get more than one result, check out the other pages to find out if they’ve stolen your content.

I’ve caught 2 instances of it happening to me through my trackbacks. In both cases, I was given credit by the site after asking. This is one of those topics no one cares about until it happens to them!

Thanks again Rose for another informative post, not a whole lot of people wanting my stuff, still its good to know what to do. I am amazed that there are people out there stealing other people’s work.
