Who is copying your content?

Good Stuff at Lifehacker this morning. Wendy Boswell pointed readers to a site named Copyscape that scans the content of a URL you provide and then scans the internet looking for copied works.

I tested it out and scanned 5 of my posts. Surprisingly, there is a Lion's Club in Canada that literally cut and paste 3 or 4 of my entries onto their site (word for word, images too!). It also appears that they've copied content from well over 100 sites. They did link back to me but I think a 100% cut and paste is a little too much. However, it's a Lion's club for their community so I don't personally care. I hope my tips help them.

Check out and scan for your content at Copyscape.
Here is the link to the Lifehacker post also, they always have a great comment thread.

    Great tip, although I don't flatter myself to think that my week-old blog has plagiarists yet :).

    Your blog is full of content that you wrote yourself so it's a prime candidate.

    Good luck with your goals. Nice to see that you are watching your finances and are serious about tracking and saving.
