Today I stumbled upon a damn-right identical clone of my blog:
http://www.bonvote.com/rss.php?s=2171210 They do say "(c) Fyneworks Blog", and Google does count the links back to my blog (every little helps), but I wonder what you guys would think if this happened to your blog. Chances are it is happening right now... Thoughts?

Well, I'd be pretty ... annoyed!
If they're straight-off scraping your feeds, I'd block them. Whether they credit you or not, it's the principle - hard work exploited by lazy individuals without permission.

Yeh, it's still stealing whether they give you credit or not in my opinion

Re: Blog Cloning - Smells fishy
Don't know how I can possibly block them. I can block my feeds, but I don't want to block it from legitimate users - users such as Technorati and other blog directories...
I agree, it is annoying, but it's too easy to read feeds and re-publish them along with a nice set of Adsense ads. I don't think there is much I can do about it. It reminds me of mp3s and file sharing...

I think they're just ripping off Technorati feeds so I think we're all in there somewhere.... LOL
