There are some who will continue to spam us, no matter what. I like your idea of setting up Google alerts for unique phrases we use. Although it may not stop others from stealing our content, it does give us a chance to let them know that we know. Hi Mical,

I like your idea of setting up Google alerts for unique phrases we use. Although it may not stop others from stealing our content, it does give us a chance to let them know that we know.

Nothing you do will prevent them from continuing to do this type of thing. 2.Bubble Person- They live in their own little bubble and can justify to themselves how they actually came up with the idea and therefore should not give you credit. They have very few original ideas and always seem to "borrow" everyone else's ideas. For those of us who make an effort to give just credit even on a simple post or comment I salute you. I personally use Google alerts and set up highly unique phrases to monitor such things. The more unique the phrase the better the results. If I feel it was done blatantly I will inform the website owner (especially if they are the guilty party) .-= Check out Mical Johnson´s awesome post: <a href="http://www.micaljohnson.com/blog/2009/11/fortune-500-company-or-online-scammer-video/">Fortune 500 company or Online Scammer?</a> =-.

Setting up Google Alerts will notify us of that which we want to track. Hi Communications Guy,

That’s an excellent point. Setting up Google Alerts will notify us of that which we want to track.
