How to prevent your blog from being misused

Nice question. The bitter fact is - you can't prevent it.

Suggestions are different for blogs hosted on popular blogging services and self-hosted blogs. For self hosted blogs, the host and the admin has to worry about security, upgrades et al. However, for the others, it is all done by the blogging service provider (viz. blogger/wordpress etc.)

If someone copies your content here is what you can do -

One very useful link to see who is copying your content is: <a href="https://www.copyscape.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Copyscape Plagiarism Checker - Duplicate Content Detection Software</a>

1. Leave a comment and tell the goon to stop copying your content or/and provide a credit linkback to your site.

2. If that doesn't help, contact the site administrator through whois search.

3. If #2 doesn't help, contact the web host of the site and tell them about plagiarism.

4. Abuse the goon through your website.

5. Contact lawyers and take a legal action. 😀


#4 has helped me a lot 😉

He he, cool! I knew the episode on your blog. Thats what has prompted me to write it. I stumbled upon an article today on a website and thought the language was almost similar to one of my very early posts.

Anyway, copyscape is really useful? I had their banner on my blog long time back. But now I have removed it.
