My sarcastic title says it all… I’ve found a few blogs who’s owner I thought were ok bloggers…. However, they turned out to be just uncreative content thieves who visit my site just to steal my content. I recently had to implement the image below (i love revenuerobot) to stop people from using my images on their sites/blogs a practice called “hotlinking”. I used this great tutorial on how to stop hotlinking to my site…

At this time I chose not to call them out (name them) however, if this does continue I shall bring to the table their sites and screenshots of the stolen posts just to show how pathetic and untrustworthy theses people are…

Just one thing I have to say to all this if you are going to use anything of mine content or images…
PLEASE give a link back to the site / resource… Thanks!

I use Statcounter as my statistics tracker for my blog and many of my other sites that I have. Mainly for the easy user ability they have to offer and the easy to read charts and what not… However, I’m not writing about how great my statistics counter is I’m writing about how I tend to come across people stealing my stuff and leaving my statcounter tracking code on the page when they go to view it. (as seen in the photo below)
This has happened to me in the past with someone stealing my WHOLE portfolio design and using it for their company. I was a little ticked off because they were in another country and I really couldn’t do anything about it. Has this happened to anyone else…???
