Top 5 ways to Kick content scrapers – No more Online Plagiarism!

By Ashik Nesin 11 Comments

Protect Your Content from thieves

Content theft is the one of the main problem that every blogger faces on their blogging journey.

We spent a lot of time in researching and writing content but some people copies and publish our contents on their blog without giving us credit and that’s annoying.

 So I goggled and finally I got a  better solution to kick those content thieves.

1. Copyright Your Contents

First of all you need to copyrights to your contents. To get copyright for your blog  Register your blog at DMCA. Don’t worry you don’t need to spend a dime for it (Yep.. You read it correctly).

2. Prevent hotlinking to your Images

Now we are going to stop Image hot linking, Just create a .htaccess file in your root folder (If it is already created just open it) and enter the below code. Note: Make backup of .htaccess file before editing so that you can restore when something went wrong Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Jung for this trick

1

RewriteEngine On
#Replace ?mysite.com/ with your blog url
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+.)?mysite.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
#Replace /images/nohotlink.jpg with your "don't hotlink" image url
RewriteRule .*.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ /images/nohotlink.jpg [L]

3. Use Copyright Proof Plugin

This plugin digitally certifies our contents thus it provides authorship and copyrights to our contents.

4. Link back to Your Article

It’s a cool WordPress trick to automatically link the stolen post to your original article all you need to do is just add simple code in your wordpress single.php

PHP

<h1>
  <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</h1>

5. Use Tynt Service

This tool track all your pages and automatically add link back to your site when someone copies and paste your contents
