Hunt Them Down - Report Blog Content Theft Via Google Scrapper Report Form

It is very frustrating when you spend hours writing a post and one close by idiot comes from no where to copy all your content, without a link back (Although i do not need a link back) to the author of the post. It is so unwise. Imagine how such person would drive all the traffic that is meant to come to your blog to his own blog. The blogosphere is currently experiencing this problem and some serious minded bloggers would even love to go into a physical combat just to kick the ass of these copycats that floats around the web on daily basis stealing the content of other hardworking bloggers. It is quite shameful and annoying at the same time and i bet, if you have been a victim of these bad guys, you would be on my side.

Why Would One Copy Your Post

Yea. Just as i said in my previous post, most bloggers do not consider the top 7 things every newbie blogger need to know before encroaching into blogging. Some are  moved by the term "Make money online blogging with google adsense." This has really given a bad reputation to bloggers. Though most of the top entertainment blogs in the internet today became so successful via the copy and paste system. No one can actually stop this copy and paste guys, not even "Google." Recently,  +Matt Cutts  updated his twitter handle, requesting google users/Bloggers to file a report to google for any of your blog article stolen which eventually outranks the original authors blog via a link he shared on twitter.
