Thanks to Google alert and Azwan for alerting me, and Google Blog search for assisting me to search the copycat, and leading me to several blogs (splog) which has copied my RSS feed (no track back) and contents whether intentionally or unintentionally. I’m not sure what they’re thinking off, perhaps they think I will never know or they’re too newbie to be aware of this, but rest assured that I won’t sit tight and keep my mouth shut.

I guess the war against copycat or plagiarism will never stop. Lorella has posted a very detailed post on what you should do when someone steals your content. It teaches you a lot about plagiarism and what is your right to protect your own content.

Plugin, badge or widget will never stop this act, but at least the warning has been there at the very first place. I have experienced this issue, a couple of times before, but this is the first time I mention it in my post.

Do you know that occasionally the copycat page will have higher rank than the original page? And truthfully speaking, one of the SPLOGs, has high Alexa rank (44k), but luckily it has no pagerank. This is what I’m scared of, and before search engines started crawling this blog, it is better that I make a move.

Thanks to Online Tech tips which provided a list of useful plugins to combat plagiarism, on which I have implemented some of it. BIG thanks to fellow bloggers for the alert. This is what I call blog-sphere’s neighbourhood. I appreciate that very much!!
