Thoughts to share:
1--They don't use MY name. They write "so and so wrote an interesting blog about this topic" and then they quote a few lines from my blog, with a link back to my blog.
2--I haven't seen any increase in meaningful traffic due to it. People search for me because they love early punk rock photos. They usually write to me, just to say hi or buy/license my photos. Most everyone either finds me via Google or looks up my name under photos on books. So if this is helping traffic I want/need, I haven't seen it yet.
3--That's my concern, that if they find these sites first, will they be turned off and leave? I deliberately posted my classic rock shots on the top of every page, cos I know peeps will leave if they don't see pix. They have to scroll down amongst all kinds of posts to find me on these sites. I think/hope most are determined enough to find me to go back to Google, scroll down til they find my domain with my name. Or they might bypass these sites and scroll serps til they find my official site.
4--Their contact info is never active, if they even have contact info. If they have a form like this, it always bounces back.
5--If Askimet doesn't catch them, I add them to AntiLeech using either their IP or sometimes that's hidden, so I add their website url.
This is a puzzling issue to me, plus the downside is I just don't have time to deal with it. I don't have enough time to recode my pages from pure html to Wordpress!
