you can tell what is of value by what people steal. Money, jewelry, expensive things... my blog content, for example. Seriously. Take it seriously (these thieves do) some steal every post

On the other hand, it's nice to know that anything I post will get distributed far and wide on other websites too... it's basically being syndicated, and anytime I post about a charity that needs help, like yesterday with the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer, and the PA 59  Santa Fe locomotive that needs restoration... those posts to help out charities get extra traction and distribution because of the websites that rip me off.

Last year I even had fun with this problem. Some of the sites that rip me off use computers to steal my content, and never have a human look at it, so I posted something that said "this content is stolen, for the full force of awesome content, don't look at this stolen content, you're only seeing a cheap imitation, and you deserve the best! Come over to Just a Car Guy . blogspot .com and get the pure wholesome car guy effect without any censorship or byproducts!"

It looked like this:

but if some of you could advise me a tiny bit... am I just letting my ego run over my reality? Yes /no.
Is my content just fine, but not exactly valuable? yes /no


Here is the recent example of http://auto-blog.cba.pl/ reposting that they are copying my content. Irony.

  1. Jesse, your's and The Old Motor are the two sites I check every day, religiously. No, you're not overreacting. If you go to the trouble to choose and post things of interest to your readers, you should be credited. Each month I send an email to a group of fellow dog lovers with pix and things I find on various sites and FB. I always credit the site of FB page where I found it. Always. Keep up the good work and the interesting variety. Don't change nuthin!

    1. thank you! I do... and hours just posting stuff that doesn't need any research. Fast and simple is the majority, it's only occasionally that I need to research a post, and get extra material
