Comments on: How Can I Fight Splogs Stealing My Content? http://www.brainhandles.com/techno-thoughts/online-marketing-and-seo/how-can-i-fight-splogs-stealing-my-content Whatever's tugging at my brain handles Tue, 27 Dec 2011 19:46:46 +0000 hourly 1 By: Randy Cassingham http://www.brainhandles.com/techno-thoughts/online-marketing-and-seo/how-can-i-fight-splogs-stealing-my-content/comment-page-1#comment-8130 Randy Cassingham Fri, 13 Mar 2009 01:47:38 +0000 http://www.brainhandles.com/?p=1519#comment-8130 I'm the "Cranky Customer" friend mentioned here. Yes, it's apparently very effective to report someone to ICANN like that. I don't have any idea if that was the genesis of my problem or not, though. Regarding the advice "I just report the violation as 'Violates Webmaster Quality Guidelines by using scraped content and provides little or no original content.'" That's a lot to remember. When I report garbage sites to Google (usually as a result of following a link, rather than finding my scraped content), I just put "splog" in the comments. The people at Google know what that is; no further explanation is needed. It's a lot easier to remember, a LOT easier to type, and saves everyone time. Just thought I'd help make things a bit simpler. :-) I'm the "Cranky Customer" friend mentioned here. Yes, it's apparently very effective to report someone to ICANN like that.
