Protect your Content from being Copied in 3 Steps
Content scraping still haunts the entire blogosphere. No matter how hard you try to defend your creation, content thieves will always find a way to steal it!
It really feels terrible to find exact copies of your original work distributed all over the internet, often without any credit or link back to your blog as the source. The most frustrating part is when you find the copied content outranking your own blog in the search engines.
Note:- Just try copying this article, no you can not😄😄.
How can someone copy content from you blog
Copycats can steal your content in a number of ways, but there are two key techniques:
- by directly copying text and images from your published post and re-publishing the content on the spammer’s blog (or splog!)
- by scraping your RSS feed. The truth is, this form of plagiarism is the most difficult to tackle.
Since plagiarism is impossible to obliterate, we need to safeguard our blogs from these vulnerabilities in such a way that it becomes at least extremely difficult for the content thief to plagiarize our content.
Now the question is arises in mind then how to protect my content.
We have 3 basics methods to be safe from plagiarism (copycatting)
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Method 1.
Disable text selection on your blog
This is the first and most essential step to discourage direct copying of your content.
Users of the Blogger platform can disable text selection from their blogs by manually installing some JavaScript code before the closing <head> tag in the HTML of their blog.
WordPress users can add this feature by installing the wpcopyprotect plugin.
Description: This is a simple script that lets you disable text selection (the ability to drag and select text) within any element on your page, such as a certain paragraph. Script works in IE, Firefox, and Opera.
Directions: Add this script to the HEAD section of your page:
Directions: Add this script to the HEAD section of your page:
With the script installed, just call the function disableSelection(target) at the very end of the document with a reference to the element you wish to disable text within. A few examples:
If you add this code into your blog post then anyone can't copy text from your post.
This code will help you to disable text selection in an specific division.
This code is used for disabling the text selection in all tables of page.
Make sure to call the above functions at the end of the document to ensure
the element in which to disable text for is defined before the function is
called.

Watermark your images
It’s important to watermark all the original images you’ve created for use on your blog. A watermark proves that you are the owner of the copyright to all those images. Moreover, watermarks discourage others from using your photos and illustrations on their blog, since they’d have your blog’s name all over theirs!
But don't watermark other images you downloaded from google.
Although there are many watermarking utilities available on the internet, I generally prefer to use Windows Live Writer’s inbuilt watermark plugin. Note that if you’re using photos from any other outside source on the web (like Flickr or Picasa), it’s up to you to take a notice of their licenses before reusing them—otherwise you might find yourself guilty of ripping someone else’s content!

Method 3.
Manage your RSS feeds
A few months ago, I encountered a terrible content scraper who, I think, was using content scraping software and publishing my posts under several different permalinks. Sounds scary, right? This software basically scans your main content and republishes your posts with the main keywords replaced by synonyms. Isn’t that irritating?
These auto-publishing sploggers target the RSS feed of your blog, where they scrape your creation in just a matter of seconds! In order to stop such exploitation you should either allow partial/short RSS feeds (so that the scraping software doesn’t take all of your content) or add a custom feed signature with a copyright notice in the feed footer section of your blog, like this:
© 2012, All Rights Reserved ¦ yourblogname.com
Note that, like a watermark on an image, this note won’t prevent your content from being taken—but when it’s reproduced on another site, readers will see that the content is being used illegally.
Users of the Blogger platform can add a custom feed signature by navigating to Other settings for your blog, then in the Site Feed section, add the following feed signature in the post feed footer:
<p> © copyright 2012 – All rights reserved </p>
<a href=”http://www.yourblogaddress.com“>Your Blog</a>
You can also use this message in your templates footer to show on every page.

For the WordPress platform, I stumbled upon this excellent free plugin that adds a custom signature in the feed footer.
