Today Kathryn Aragon was kind enough to host a guest post from me about content theft. In it, I explain:
- Why freelance writers and bloggers shouldn't ignore it (and why you're crazy if you think those "free backlinks" are a good thing);
- How you can track down information about even the most anonymous content thieves;
- What you can do to have your stolen content removed and hit scrapers where it really hurts (hint: it doesn't involve hiring lawyers).
Learn more. Read the post.

Jennifer, I hope bloggers take note of how you do things. Your guest post is the best article on the subject I’ve ever seen. And this is a terrific promo for it. Love your style!
Thank you so much Kathryn. I appreciate that. And thanks again for hosting the post. If it helps even one person knock down a scraper site, I’ll be thrilled. 🙂
I second that, Kathryn! 🙂
Thanks Cathy! 🙂
