To moderate or not to moderate update [Hack Your Day]
I wrote a post about two weeks ago about scraper sites which index my content automatically and add it to their sites. You can read all about my comments in the post because there are positive sides to this as well, but in the end I decided that it was not a good idea at all to let this happen.
Today I used who.is a whois tool to track down the registrar of the site, after which I used the whois tool of the registrar to get some more info. I found a name, address and email, so I sent the person an email. I asked him nicely to remove my site from his blog, although I was lenient, and I told him that existing content can stay, I don’t really want to go higher up the ladder than this, but I will if I must.
So in the end I decided that this must stop. The loss of reputation is a far greater problem than the few hits I get and the few backlinks. Also, I don’t really get acknowledged, since the names are always auto-generated.
