Has anyone heard of www.bloggen.be
-
Hi, i am a bit confused, it seems that my content and my google ads are going onto this site www.bloggen.be which is a foreign site, google is asking if i want to authorize my ads to be shown on this site which i have said no, but what i am worried about is, if they are stealing my content or displaying it in some way with my google adsense
Can anyone let me know if this has happened to them and how i can find out if they are taking any of my content

Hi Tim,
The first step is to determine if your content has been reproduced without your permission. The easiest way to do this is to simply search Google. Take a unique part of your content - a sentence of two, and wrap it in quotes for an exact match search, like this:
You can also limit your search to a particular site with the site: operator. Dr. Pete has a good article about it.
Or you can use one of several tools like Copyscape.
To be honest, sites steal and scrape content all the time. Most of the time it isn't a problem, but occassionaly you may find folks misrepresenting you, profiting from your content or hurting your rankings. If this is the case, you should work to have the content removed. This can range from a simple letter to the webmaster to an official DMCA takedown notice, although it rarely comes to this.
Hope this helps! Best of luck.

Can anyone recommend a good reliable blogging platform for a small to medium sized manufacturing and services company?
I've been asked by my manager to investigate the best blogging platform for our company website. On a recent CIM course it ways suggested that Wordpress is not necessarily reliable. Could anyone advise? The blog is required to provide a space for current industry news, casestudies etc. It is also envisaged that the blog will allow comments. I've only got good things to say about Wordpress, but have only used the platform for my own small SEO company.

Does anyone know of a recipe schema creator tool?
Our CMS doesn't support a user friendly plugin to create markup for recipes, so we have to do it manually. Does anyone know of a schema creator tool for recipes? Raven tools has one for every other content type. Thanks! Lisa

My Boss tells me personal narrative content isn't read online and bad for SEO, anyone else disagree? b/c I do!
I am in a constant debate that content 1st person or 3rd person doesn't make a difference in terms of SEO and what people on the web want to read. What do you all think? Does it make a difference?

Anyone have a collection or list of spammy websites?
Random I know. I started a fun pet project at www.me-not-spammer.info. Total spam. Totally says it's not spam. Satire and all, something only SEO people will get really. Anyway I want to make a sidebar of other "not spammers" and need to find a bunch of spammy websites. Problem is they don't rank in search engines obviously so I know of only the ones who leave comments on some of my wordpress sites. Anyone have a list of a bunch of them so I can link to them in my blogroll?
