Its not about sending back the users to your site atleast they should have the decency to email us and ask our permission first. Yes I do agree Nitin, I too remove the spam trackbacks.

I just started a blog recently about web development and it wasn't more than week when I noticed someone was scraping my content. At least they referenced me with a link, I guess a type of "thanks for letting reuse your content without permission". The problem I have is I'm now nervous as to whether Google could penalize my blog for being web scraped. That perhaps they mistaken this guy's blog for a doorway website, as in something I'm using to artificially inflate our numbers. I also noticed that we were recently dropped from certain pertinent keywords by AOL/MSN Live search recently and I'm wondering if this is related. This has been a problem for a while regarding these search engines. It's really hard to identify who's legit and who's being scraped, from who's scraping themselves, or offering RSS feeds for the taking for the link backs. It's a HUGE problem that I don't see Google doing anything about and it has to make you wonder how long until enough folks are screwed by this mess before it hits the news. Let's face, identifying who's who is damn near impossible, so why would Google waste time fielding thousands of calls/complaints from small time bloggers and websites? They only care about the big guys, and those are easy to identify by now. I'm gong to continue my writing, but I fear that the "good times" are coming to end in regards to self-publishing. Social Networking is too hot to ignore and blogging is going to be trumped by video blogging if it hasn't already. Not a fun situation to deal with at all.
