A Wordpress plugin that help fight scrapers and copycats

Scrapers/ Sploggers and copy cats are the names you’d never want to hear these days. Simply because every blog has a splogger who’s scraping your content from the RSS feeds everyday.There are lot of tools available to fight scrapers, and here’s a brand new plugin for Wordpress that’ll help you to fight scrapers.

It’s the categories Autolink plugin - which will help you to link automatically to your category whenever there’s a citation regarding the category in your articles.

How this helps fight scraping?
This plugin will automatically link to your categories whenever there’s a mentiona bout the categories in your posts. Which means more interlinking of pages and categories. This is one excellent way to fight scrapers. When they scrape your content, the interlinks to your blog is also copied, which helps you to trace them out.

Mani, But there are some real hieves who do not enable any links on such copied RSS feeds…i tried this technique of linking back within posts when people were stealing content but to my disappointment, i found links not enabled in those copied feed content…

You are right Rajesh,
I’m hoping that this plugin will help block other sploggers who keep the link. Unfortunate that there are lot of them.

Hi Mani, I just would add to my previous comment that I recently created a new plugin, which does the same work as Categories Autolink with the tags. It is called Tags Autolink (http://www.centrostudilaruna.it/huginnemuninn/2007/12/06/wordpress-plugin-tags-autolink/)
