Casual Articles - The Death Of Blog Protection
So why does every coach need a business plan? I can hear your objections ringing in my ears right now! 'Who me!' 'I don't need any outside financing, why would I bother with a business plan for my coaching practice'. 'I haven't got the time to write a coaching business plan'. 'It's all in my head, why would I want to go to the hassle of writing it down?' 'I already have a practic

There are a lot of ways to increase traffic to your website. You do not have to pay every time.After some research, I have come out with some methods to drive traffic. Below are some of the ways and they are grouped into 2 main categories: Free and Paid.Free Ways: 1) Listing of self-created advertisement posts on classified site. Choose only classified sites which allo
Why? Simple: Money.
If Joe Company has an interesting blog, all the other guy has to do is copy it into his own blog, and now he's got the content. That person runs some advertising on his blog, does some traffic building, and he gets paid.
Is it a problem? You bet. Is there a solution? Sort of, but I wouldn't trust them, and certainly wouldn't pay for them.
Here's the deal: Blog copy protection software looks for copies of your blog online. You tell it to look for "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy hound", and that's what it looks for. If it finds it, it lets you know. Seems pretty straight forward. The problem is that the guys copying the blogs will always keep themselves a step ahead of the people searching for them. How? Actually, that's pretty easy.
The people copying the blogs are now using a little more sophisticated method to copy blogs. They're converting them to PDFs and images. Why? Again, simple. In order to search for text, there actually has to be searchable text to search. You can't search an image for text easily. You'd have to do some heavy processing to search a PDF from a site... and even then, which of the files would the software search?

Recently after designing a website for my family and showing them what terms our website comes under in the search engines, I noticed they don't really know how to search to find what they want. These are people I thought were pretty computer literate, as they have had a computer as long as I can remember. If my family doesn't know how to search I am sure there are many other people o

Paid Surveys are a hugely popular means to earning a few extra bucks on the side. But how do you get paid for surveys? Well the first step is to get invited into a survey or focus group. Focus groups are a group of people who are invited to take part in a short session to discuss whatever topic is being talked about and they generally pay better than paid surveys. So if you want to ge

Many nonprofits find themselves faced with the challenge of streamlining their communication channels - website, print newsletter, mailed funding appeals, print outreach materials, phone system on-hold messages, an annual report, advertising in local papers, etc. Multiple operating sites, diverse staff and time constraints may cause your brand message to get lost in the shuffle.

You’re really doing it. You’re going back into the rat race. After being out of the workforce for a couple of months - or even several years - it’s time to jump back in with both feet. But how do you do it?I Can Do ItThat’s your mantra for your job search. You’re concerned – even intimidated – by all those people out there who have a stellar work-record. But you k
I myself have had my blogs and articles appear as PDFs on a few sites. I've gotten emails from readers alerting me to this, and then actually stumbled across one of my articles one night while doing research for another article. I said, "Hmm, I did something on that subject, I wonder what this person has to say about it?" Turns out they said exactly the same thing I did.
So, what are we to do? Who do we turn to? Where do we go? Is there a software answer out there that will open up PDFs, read images, and compare them to existing content?
Those answers are a little harder. The truth is that plagiarism has always existed, and will always exist. Large companies have lawyers to help them with that. The small guys like the rest of us can easily use a boiler plate "Cease and Desist" letter to attempt to contact the owner of the site.
There's software to protect ebooks, but it's requirements and setup leave a lot to be desired - turning html content into an executable file.
There are services that claim to have the answer, however, by the time they make it to market, they're behind the guys doing the copying.
A better system would be to categorize the "Sploggers" in the same manner we do Phishing attempts. After all, we're being duped into going to their sites, and they're costing advertisers money.
The bottom line is that there's nothing we can do to stop blogs or articles form being copied. The same mechanism that we rely o
