If you have fallen victim to web ‘scrapers’ you will know how annoying and frustrating this can be. You spend time researching and writing blog posts, only to find that someone is systematically scraping them and publishing them to their own website or blog as if they had written the original article. This has happened to me more than once, so I was very pleased to find the ‘RSS Footer Plugin’ for WordPress Blogs. The way it works – the people who want to scrape your posts use your RSS Feed to automate the process. This plugin allows you to add a line of content either at the beginning or the end of your RSS feed articles: you can also Include a link back to the post, with post title as anchor text too. That is an aspect of this plugin that will really frustrate the web scrapers and, hopefully, make it pointless for them to plagiarise your original blog posts.
