Fight RSS Feed Scrapers With AntiLeech Wordpress Plugin

Are you aware that your blog contents are potential victims to blog scrappers? These people scrap your content via feed, put up your content on their blog as if it’s theirs, put in some AdSense or other ad units and attempt to make some easy money from it. If you hate these people as much as I do, then perhaps you should start acting now before they take advantage of your blog content again.

AntiLeech is the Wordpress plugin you are looking for. It helps prevents splogger bots form stealing your contents. Here’s how it works - AntiLeech dont block these scrappers away, instead it turns the table around by giving them useless content with a link back to your site (as well as plugin author’s site).

AntiLeech does not prevent the splogger bots from accessing your site. It produces a fake set of content especially for them that includes links back to your site (and mine, too, ok?) and sends it only to them. When they steal this content, it appears online just like normal, except now you’ve turned the tables on them and have provided them with useless content.

So when the splogs sends a link-back / trackback ping to you, you’ll notice it under the Wordpress comments section. You can then grab the IP and add it to Block list under AntiLeech in your Wordpress.

Download AntiLeech for Wordpress.
