nice idea but many feed thieves will run content through strip_tags() or some equivalent function and your links back are gone :(

Great tips, Chris.

A little pointer on the aLinks plugin - the latest beta of Windows Live Writer provides the same functionality without needing any extensions. Very useful.

Thanks for the tips about adding the buttons at the bottoms of action posts. I will try it.

Chris,

Good morning. Even though I'm a recent blogger, what I've read, is a very practical way to protect what we are working on.

Thank you very much.

Excellent post. Very practical ideas. Ultimately I'd like to get some of the dollars these scrapers make off selling ads linked to my stuff but I know how likely that is to happen. (I wrote about this topic as well in http://www.ddmcd.com/different.html.)
