How to make money with your blog.

Not so long ago, blogs are maintained and used by computer aficionados as a tool to publish personal experiences, pictures, videos and events that will be of interest to internet readers and surfers. Aspiring writers would use blogs as a venue to publish their writing. Computer geeks would use blogs to be in touch with peers.

Google does care after all !

I wrote an article few days ago and an automated blog copied the article the minute I posted it here. 12 hours later, I searched Google for "How to upload files to your virtual private server" and I was surprised to find that the automated blog, is already ranking number one in the results. It was my article and its my blog that should be ranking there !

I'm used to having my articles copied without permission but seeing Google ranking a useless automated blog, instead of ranking my blog. That did heart a lot and I was really upset about it all day.

Blogger.com - Hard to report copyright infringement !

Today I was hunting down all the automated blogs that would copy my articles/content without permission. I either reported the blog to its hosting/domain provider, or contacted the owner of the blog which is very rare, since these blogs are automated and have no contact page/email.

Anyway, one of these blogs is a free blog from blogger.com, so I went on and reported it.
