Thanks for the heads up, but I'm afraid this one's a false alarm. I'm actually a paid contributor to that blog. I just started writing reviews for them in the past couple of weeks. It's my first paid blogging gig, so I don't really have much to say about it yet. I'd like to post about my experiences after I give it a little time, though. As far as the content stealers go, I don't want to reward them for ripping me off by sending them traffic. I found a couple of them so far, but I'll bet there are more... Hi Tom. Thanks for the heads up, but I’m afraid this one’s a false alarm. I’m actually a paid contributor to that blog. I just started writing reviews for them in the past couple of weeks. It’s my first paid blogging gig, so I don’t really have much to say about it yet. I’d like to post about my experiences after I give it a little time, though.

As far as the content stealers go, I don’t want to reward them for ripping me off by sending them traffic. I found a couple of them so far, but I’ll bet there are more…

Only I think they may have nicked one of my articles. I saw a review you had written posted there. http://blog.freedownloadscenter.com/2006/10/29/textwrangler-for-editing-text-on-a-mac/ Hey man… just wondering: was one of these sites ‘freedownloadscenter.com’?

Duplicate content could be an issue too. Yeah, you are right, if there is a backlink pointing to your website it can actually help you. Duplicate content could be an issue too.

That is, if there is a link back to my site. If they don't link to my site, then they're just totally ripping me off.

If that doesn't help you can contact their hosting provider and ask them to contact the owner of the site. I have never experienced this but what I heard from other people contacting a hosting provider usually helps. Anyway, good luck and let us know how it went.
