Most of the time, 8 out of 10 I’d say, I usually include the first 5 or 6 sentences, or paragraph as a teaser.

Your post was different because I wanted my readers to really feel your humor up front and see what kinds of questions you’d ask.

As you know, many newbies don’t even know what to ask or look for, which is who most of my target market is.

Trust me when I tell you, I’m VERY particular about copy and originality. I once had a client who swiped word-for-word another’s web copy, only to call me at 11:30pm in a frenzied panic to take down her website because she had been busted by the original copy owner. Boy, talk about foolish!

Thanks for the tip on smaller bits w/commentary. You’ve inspired an article in the works.

Best to you, dp

But what Donna’s done here is OK. Yes, she copied a fair amount of my article, but calls it out as such, and provides several ‘dofollowed’ links back to my blog.

The only thing I might do different: Instead of excerpting one big chunk, I’d excerpt several smaller ones with commentary in between. That would get you more search engine leverage as your content would have a better chance of being considered unique.

Go clutter up someone else’s blog with your rhetoric – I don’t waste energy or time on anonymous “evangelists” like you.

I predict he will succeed in his quest to get the copyright act changed and shut down parasites like you. You need to be stopped from benefiting from re-posting the content of real original content producers.

Admit it (if you can even be honest with yourself), you could just as easily post a simple link to his content, instead of copying and pasting it in whole onto your own site. You’ve set yourself up to compete with him for search engine rankings for his content. Not nice.

In addition, this post was added to Friendfeed, Twitter and Facebook. People need to SHARE information – that’s what social media is! Sheesh! Get over yourself.

Also, if you Google “web coach tip” you’ll see that MY articles are posted in over 730k locations online. I’m hardly “scraping” anybody else’s content.

BTW, “sniffer”… funny how your domain is just a parked go daddy account with no real way of contacting you.

I’ll just assume you are an intern on a pointless crusade.

ps. You spelled copyrighted wrong. Duh!
