I saw that one post had been scraped today instead of dozens, so what I did reduced (but did not completely eliminate) the scraping.
What’s funny is that they scraped a post on “MFA” as in the creative writing degree. What they really wanted was a post about Made for AdSense.
Someone had a good point about this. She views the scraping as a chance for more links in and hits. That’s true. At the same time, I know that links in from spam and junk sites don’t do much for search engine optimization.
I’ll move back onto poetry topics again tomorrow.

True, the links don’t benefit you, but they don’t hurt you either. The search engines know you can’t control who links to you.
But this is funny. I like playing little practical jokes like that on these people.
@Allen–Me, too. I know my little jokes probably aren’t noticed, but it gives me a laugh.
