  Please look at this url:

  http://bookmarksurl.com/200810/just-too-cute-eco-friendly-baby-shoes.html

  This showed up in my stats as a “referal” link. It is my post from my blog. Here it is on my blog.

  http://tryingtobegreener.wordpress.com/2008/10/22/just-too-cute-eco-friendly-baby-shoes/

  About 3 weeks ago, I found out someone was taking my posts and using them on their site. I managed to get them to take them off.

  Is it happening again?!!! I can’t figure out if this site is legitimate. Is it a wordpress site? It says “powered by wordpress” on the bottom.

  Please help me if you understand what’s going on.

  Thank you!!!

  it’s a normal occurence to have your content copied by spam blogs. perhaps reading this previous thread and the links in it may be of help to your problem. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/new-splogging-site?replies=25

  Can someone confirm for me if the spam blog is a wordpress blog or just using the software?

  Thanks!

  The easiest way to confirm whether the blog is hosted here at wordpress.COM is to see if the wp.com bar at the top shows. The link you provided does not have the bar. The other way is to look at the footer. In this case, the footer says “Powered by WordPress” which means they are using the software from wordpress.ORG.

  I have read the ‘bookmarksurl.com’,it is a very good site, the Web site quoted the link without ‘nofollow’, for my site in the SEO is very favorable. So I very much welcome the bookmarksurl quote my link.
