I’ve tried out a few plugins recently to stop sploggers from stealing my content. My favorite was ©Feed, but unfortunately it causes errors if you use it alongside any Feedburner redirecting plugin.That plugin does everything I want, otherwise – maybe someday it will work.
Now I’m using Anti-Feed Scraper Message, which is a simple plugin that [...]

Go check out RedButtonReviews – this asshole may be stealing your content. But I’m not nearly so upset this time, because look at the hilarity:
I installed the ©Feed plugin recently and changed my feed to excerpt only. Therefore he only got an excerpt and he got a clear copyright infringement notice, and a digital fingerprint [...]

This assclown just sent me 18 trackbacks. By the time I clicked back to them, they were all coming up as 404s, but sure enough, he’d reposted my articles without permission. He even says in his sidebar that not all of these articles are his – some of them are feeds from other sites and [...]

I’ve had my doubts about Feedburner’s accuracy before, but this is ridiculous.
I know I’ve neglected you guys lately, but you’re not actively boycotting me, are you? Even bots register as 3-5 users on a site that sits untouched for years.

Recently I found a Wordpress plugin that lets you see what people are searching for when they use the search box on your site. Awesome! Now I have new ideas what to write about. It works great on Project Mai Tai, where people search for stuff [...]

The feeds on this site and Affiliate Marketing Journal have been screwy ever since I created the new blog. I checked all my feed links over and over when I set up the new blog. Then when I noticed everyone had dumped Blue Mushrooms overnight and gone over to Affiliate Marketing Journal, I thought, “I [...]

My income is just dropping lately. It’s getting worse every month. Anyone else seeing this on their own sites?

I don’t get Twitter. But people keep “following” me, so I’ve decided to give it a try. If you’re interested, I’m bluemushrooms.
