But I've got this little question about the effectiveness and reliability of Tracer. If I'm not mistaken, it's not recommended to have "hidden" incoming links?

I'm glad this post helped you in some way :-) @Donna: Well, may be they automatically scrape a lot of sites, and yours might just happen to be one of them. Who knows, their purpose might be to just fill their site with as much content as possible. @George: You’re welcome. I’m glad this post helped you in some way :-)

You mention that they want to increase their SERP position, but I'm still not sure what that accomplishes, as many of these blogs don't appear to be selling anything or have Google Adsense on them. Any ideas? Thanks! Donna Hi–

I’ve got a question about your comment, “shutting down such scraper sites immediately so as to prevent them from getting high SERP positions”

My blog posts have been scraped to many blogs in a very nonsensical way and I’ve never been able to figure out the motivation for doing so. You mention that they want to increase their SERP position, but I’m still not sure what that accomplishes, as many of these blogs don’t appear to be selling anything or have Google Adsense on them.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Donna

I guess that I will have to go all of them and see exactly what they copied and all. Thanks for the links, this article has been very useful to me. I will check out Fair share and Tracer some other time, I have bookmarked them though. Wow, I just used Copyscape and found 10 results.

When the culprit copy and paste the content, he could just easily remove the last addition (i.e. "read more at..." portion). In addition it just slows down the load times just like Raju indicated.
