Dangers: linked "splog"
Line 10:
Sometimes a blog scraper will copy an entire post off an independent or business blog. That duplicate content will include the author's tag and a link back to the author's site (if that link appears in the author's tag.)
 
Many times though, blog scrapers copy just the portion of the content that is keyword relevant to their [[splog]] topic.
 
Why the more 'advanced' Blog scrapers do this is simple. By copying only the content that is relevant to their splog topic, they can increase the keyword relevancy of their site(s). Secondly, by not scraping the entire post, they eliminate any outbound links which would reduce their search engine ranking.
