They totally ripped me off. Now, I do use a Creative Commons license but I don't think impersonating the author and ripping off their content counts as covered use.

Its a blogspot blog AND they have adsense. Google will def. take it down, MC already gave that link. I was not clone but a few months ago, someone was taking posts from quite a bit of "wealthxxxxxx.com" blogs. I used that link (I don't know if other did the same), it was taken down in less than a week.

Report it to Adsense, too. It might get them banned so it will be harder for them to play this game with someone else's content in the future.

Why do the sites even do this? It doesn't seem like there's much to gain from doing this.

I'm just wondering if they get banned sooner or later how much money is there really in it? Google's algorithm is not that stupid anymore so it's not like they get a ton of traffic anyways. I'm just having a bit of a hard time understanding why someone would want to go through the trouble and then end up having to register a new LLC or whatever it is they do once an account gets banned.

Exactly they are hoping to steal some traffic by ranking high for your posts.

SECOND EDIT: This site: http://www.investmentstrategytips.org is hosting some of our content. This is actually a site that was around from a while so they may have gotten permission from some of you to reuse their content. I didn't recognize the site and wouldn't have given permission as how it currently exists.
The owner apparently had some site issues and is rebuilding but nonetheless they have agreed to delete my posts.

That sucks. Blogger should take it down too if you report it. I'm currently battling two sites that have stolen my content. One site got suspended today, and the other should tomorrow.
DMCA all the way!

I use a plugin called "©Feed" — it lets you put a copyright notice in your RSS footer as well as other custom code and a unique identifier. Since these sites usually copy by scraping the RSS they will have your copyright notice in there. You can then search for the unique indentifier and see who's copied you. Some will be legit (like the Yakezie RSS aggregator) while others will be complete scam artists!

I was copied last week, and have a huge in-depth post going up tomorrow that I hope the Yakezie will promote!

You guys might want to watch out for http://www.investmentstrategytips.org — they've also been ripping me off and I saw posts from other sites in there too.
Hi,
I just sent you an email about this, but in case it doesn't get through I'll let you know here too.
I received permission to publish your work by email. I hope that you have just forgotten about this. I included a link back to you on every post.
Best,
Mike

I can't believe they would just stick your name on a blogspot page! It's really sad that you have to constantly be on the lookout for things like this.
