Few days ago there are lots of issues happening within the blogging circle and I read there are three kinds of copy paste blogging incident occur in one day. There's a mainstream news about that movie launch event, and then there's the Facebook status confrontation of two bloggers, and then I found a blog event website copying the whole content of an existing blog event website. It was a crazy day and we were celebrating World Bloggers Day last May 2 and the fun was gone because of this 3 kinds of incident.
After that day, I found out that there's this person copies lots of blog post from other sites and it includes my blog.
nakakainis lang...
I'm sure the blogger used a RSS aggregator that captures all my post and repost it automatically to his blog

And there's many more...all of my post were copied.
Yesterday, I got tagged by a blogger friend, Myke Soon, and he asked us on if its okay to disable the "right click" mouse action to his blog, I told him that even if he disable it, there are still ways of copying your images and blog post. I explained to him on posting a Copyscape banner just to shoooo away the copy cats, but we know that copy paste bloggers don't care and they all hide under the blanket and never reveal their selves.
So a better way to avoid this and let the readers of the copy paste blogger discover that the article they are reading are not original and copied from other blog sites. The only way to trick them back is to include a short note directing them to the original post.

No guarantee if the blogger will notice this, or care about it or even stop mining content from you blog, but its also a way of informing the copy paste blogger's readers that the blog they are supporting is a total FAKE.
Let's see if this post and my future post with a note will appear in his blog.
How about you?
How do you prevent copy paste blog sites in grabbing content from your blogs?
