What we need to do is start hitting the advertising and profit centers harder. That will be more effective than just reporting the sites. Since one account will have multiple sites and it is much harder to create a new advertiising account than find a new host. It is the easiest way to go.

Thank you very much for your comment and please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help!

Thank you very much for the praise and for the encouragement, it means a great deal. I can also understand the frustrations experienced by companies such as AOL when dealing with this issue. It is almost a game of Whack-A-Mole with two new sites popping up for every one taken down. Very frustrating.

As a freelance writer, I don’t like having my words and my byline splashed all over splogs or splogs that try to get around the fact that they are splogs by claiming to be a legitimate business. I don’t want any misunderstanding that I’m somehow associated with those places or any of the ancillary content they republish. An excerpt — fine. A full feed that includes our permalinks and category links (which doesn’t make the thing any better to me, if anything, it makes it that much more pathetic), images (images we oftentimes create ourselves) and other site-specific information is not

I will note that AOL legal is pretty proactive about shutting down sites that are using more than just excerpts of our content — the problem is that there are just too many sites and now “services” cropping up every day to be able to attack them all.
