Do this by setting up another RSS feed and setting your current blog's auto-discover URL to this new feed. If the content on the stealing website changes to what is on your new feed - he is autodiscovering, if not, he's using your current feed. 2) Spam the feed he is using with so many ads and affiliate links his content is virtually useless and you may make a few dollars. This could get kind of difficult if he is using your current feed (not autodiscovery) - since you will have to have your readers transition over to a new feed (that the thief doesn't know about).

It's not really the best solution and not sure if it would work 100% but might make some $$. ?!?

They use Adsense so you could contact Google and try to get their account canceled, contact their website host and try to get their hosting turned off, etc. Lorelle also has a great post on the <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/04/10/what-do-you-do-when-someone-steals-your-content/">steps you should take if your content is being stolen</a>.

The stealing website is pulling down your RSS feed, parsing it, and posting it on their site. Without getting into a legal battle with them - which could cost quite a bit of money - try these tips: 1. Change your Feedburner RSS URL. This may only put him off for a day or two, or his bot may autodiscover your feed, so it may not help at all. 2. At the bottom of each of your posts, place a block of text similar to "This post was written by [your name] exclusively for [your blog]. If this content is visible anywhere else - they are stealing." Make sure you place a lot of inbound links in there for your keywords. :D 3. Report it to Google. Google may blacklist the site which limit any "punishment" for duplicate content.

I'm working hard to post every day at my blog, http://www.romancetracker.com, and am pleased to see that my Google search hits are growing every day. Unfortunately, I have discovered a site that takes every post I write, every day, and reproduces it exactly, word for word! They have even stolen the categories I put the posts under! That site is http://www.101lovetips.com. What should I do? The site that is stealing from me has no contact information on it at all. I hate to think that their thievery is affecting my Google ranking, and besides, I don't want them re-publishing my original writing! Thanks . . . Hi, I have a quick question, hope you can help!
