Oh, and Gnome also pointed me at a post regarding scrapers and how to fight back. [...]

Yes Lorelle is an excellent resource as you say.
The old spam folder tends to overflow with the pingbacks from these sites (especially around the time of WoW.com linkage)… and it only ever seems to grab 50% of them.

I think the problem is it’s so easy to set up these sites… 2 at once by the same site owner the other night!?! Yet such a pain to deal with them

2. If yours is a WordPress blog, check your spam folder often: You will find trackbacks from scrapers, without a doubt. Follow the links, apply Lorelle’s lessons.

3. Pray you aren’t highlighted by WoW.com, because you will only encounter MORE scrapers (why AOL hasn’t tried to put those people out of business yet–the scrapers, not WoW.com!–is beyond me).

It’s incredibly frustrating to see excerpts of my content being haphazardly thrown up on a site that is only there to steal search traffic and monetize off of ads. The one consolation in this is I know their sites will most likely NEVER rank well in any search engine for any WoW related terms. Still its very disappointing that people do such things.

Thanks for the tips and links on how to fight back…I’m going to try a few of those plugins when I have a chance.
