This helped me find some WordPress plugins that can help you effectively deal with RSS scrappers.<\/p>\n<p>I read this excellent article about how to\u00a0<a style=\"color: #428bca;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.plagiarismtoday.com\/2007\/11\/28\/making-the-switch-going-from-partial-to-full-feeds\/\" rel=\"noopener\">deal with content theft and RSS scraping<\/a>\u00a0by Jonathan Bailey and decided to start dealing with a my current feed scrappers using the AntiLeech WordPress Plugin. This plugin\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">produces fake content<\/span>\u00a0and links back to your site!<\/p>\n<p>You can configure many more options to prevent certain User-Agents and IP addresses from stealing your content via RSS.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #666666;\">Block RSS Feed Scraping and Content Theft<\/h3>\n<p>How did it work? Great. As soon as I published a previous post, the splog was instantly pinged and republished our post in full. I instantly got a\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">trackback ping\u00a0<\/span>to the scrapped url in my WordPress comments section. I\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">noted the IP\u00a0<\/span>address from the trackback and\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">blocked IP number<\/span>\u00a0in the AntiLeech WordPress Plugin options. Then when I published the next article, the next scrapped article was total rubbish.<\/p>\n<p>Its really\u00a0interesting to view the way in which this plugin\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">filled the scrapper content with rubbish text<\/span>, removing all useful content, putting in a warning about feed republishing without permission and providing lots of free linkbacks with lots of corrupted code to end with.<\/p>\n<p>My experience with AntiLeech WordPress Plugin has been great and I have blocked a few more IP\u2019s who regularly scrap our content. There are more plugins to block RSS feed scrappers like\u00a0<a style=\"color: #428bca;\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/copyfeed\/\" rel=\"noopener\">CopyFeed<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Digital Fingerprint Plugin. Now I can stay with\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">full feeds with confidence\u00a0<\/span>and no fears of duplicate content.
