Comments on: Blog Syndication, Ethics, and All That Jazz http://www.diabetesmine.com/2006/07/blog_syndicatio.html A gold mine of straight talk and encouragement for people living with diabetes Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:14:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: JasonJayhawk http://www.diabetesmine.com/2006/07/blog_syndicatio.html/comment-page-1#comment-35811 JasonJayhawk Fri, 21 Jul 2006 10:08:35 +0000 http://diabetesmine.dreamhosters.com/2006/07/20/blog-syndication-ethics-and-all-that-jazz/#comment-35811 Blog plagarism is gaining attention. Since new blog messages provide content for search engines like Google, it's actually creating a new academic challenge for Google, which has to figure out a way to downrank sites that have duplicate content (and must downrank the copying website). The hopes of the site owner (thief) are that people visit and click on the GoogleAds (even an accidental click counts). GoogleAds can provide a pleasant rate of 5 to 10 cents for a click. These add up quickly! The people running these scams are the same people who would steal your car out of the garage if you left the keys in the ignition; however, since most come from other countries, you won't have to worry too much -- yet.
