Hi Dana,

If your content is getting scraped, I suggest using the wordpress plugin WP Footer by Yoast, which means you can at least get a backlink to your website. It’s worth being in the blog search for the extra traffic.

I am tired of people scraping my feed and coming up in search engines before me for content I wrote.

I am glad I found this option.

I noticed one draw back though- my content no longer shows up in Google’s blog search.

Generally, RSS is useful. However, sometimes I just don’t want the hassle of setting up a RSS feed… especially for a mini site.

Hi Dan,

now that is a great tip but I can’t see why even corporate websites wouldn’t want to have RSS. I mean even larger websites can benefit from using RSS so don’t you find that it would be more valuable to fit RSS into the strategy instead of just removing it?

I’ve not had a need for this yet, though for some people I would think it could be quite useful.

It may be worth submitting this to WPRecipes.com (http://www.wprecipes.com/contribute) they have over 4100 RSS subscribers and may bring you some traffic.
