Dealing with Content Theft: A Pretty Good Idea

"One tactic for dealing with content theft"
BlogCatalog Discussion Thread (started July 6, 2008)

"Many months ago, Dane Morgan offered some seemingly unorthodox advice about dealing with content theft. We should build internal links into our posts that lead back to our blogs should the content be stolen.

"I don't like how someone stole my guest post on the BlogCatalog blog, but the fact that the links lead...."

I think anyone who puts original content on the Web would profit from reading this thread. Eight hours after it started, there's been a pretty good discussion about the link idea, and related topics.

(If you've been following "Apathetic Lemming of the North" for a while, you already know this, but: I'm part of the BlogCatalog online community - and like it there. You'll find quite a wide variety of people and ideas.

Daniel,

Good question! Haven't a clue - but now I'm thinking about it, which is a start. Thanks, BTW, for the question, and its implication.
