I just noticed this due to a pingback.
Take a look at this post: http://zoplop.in/potato-growin…..ontainers/
It's a copy of the post I had here: http://www.beatingbroke.com/gr…..ontainers/
Of course, the obvious bit is that it isn't just a straight scrape. A lot of the syntax and text has changed, but it almost reads like a really terrible translation. The interesting thing is that it still contains all of MY links, including the affiliate link that I put in there for the potato planter bag. Do I bother trying to get him/her to take it down, or just leave it?

Personally I would leave it and not worry. It won't do you any harm, and might even do you some good. This is one of the reasons I contextually link my articles. If someone takes my content then at least they are doing some backlinking for you. The thing is that the people who take content like this are not going to invest a lot of time and money promoting their sites, so they are never going to make a fortune off your content whilst leaving you in the gutter.

If it were a straight scrape, then, yeah, that could hurt you, Google-wise. I sometimes get scrapers that pull the first paragraph and then post a link to my post.

They are using spinning software to re-write it. I would submit the site to Google to make sure they get de-indexed as a scraper

I get these types of scrapes from debt consolidation sites. Is this hurting my SEO? One post in particular has been scraped three dozen times. Should I be doing something about this?

I dont think duplicate content from scrapers really hurts you that much w/ SEO anymore. 99.9% of the time it's on a junk blog, and has much less authority. Google is getting a lot better at figuring out where the original post comes from (the pubsubhubbub plugin helps out a lot too)

Looks like it doesn't matter too much. The post doesn't even exist anymore…

I would have agreed that links like this won't hurt you, until Penguin came along. Those very links back to you can look like webspam to google. To them, a crappy scraper site doesn't look much different than a crappy blog network site.
Just off this page as an example:
- 1 Obvious paid links from blog networks
- 2 Sitewide links with exact anchor text either in the footer or blogroll
- 3 Lots of links from article marketing sites (Usually having exact anchor text)
- 4 Guest posts on questionable sites (a footprint of spun article distribution products like Unique Article Wizard, SEO Linkvine, etc.)
- 5 Lots of de-indexed or low quality directory links
#4 might be the most concerning in this case. You might consider filing a complaint with Google to get them removed.
