Question
-
There is someone who has been reblogging my posts from time to time for several months. The problem is, when I go to their site, it has always said COMING SOON. It’s not even working. So what are they doing with my posts? I have wondered about this for quite a while now.
WP.com: Yes
Correct account: YesThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
I’m not sure I totally understand since https://bizmarc.wordpress.com/2022/06/24/u-s-supreme-court-v-common-sense/ is a public link that anyone on the internet can access. It does not appear in Google Searches, but I can confirm it is public when I check the site settings.
Also, I noticed your blog bookblog200.wordpress.com is mostly about book reviews. I did not see that reblogged at the link you shared, however. It seems they reblogged this article instead: https://jilldennison.com/2022/06/24/u-s-supreme-court-v-common-sense/
Is that a site you have under a different login?
So what are they doing with my posts? I have wondered about this for quite a while now.
From what I can see, they simply share (reblog) your content for their viewers. They are not, however, representing it as their own, and one advantage of reblogs is that the content being shared still links back to the source, so the original author still gets credit, as well as the opportunity to see a boost in traffic as folks click on the reblog to see the whole article (on the source site it came from)
Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
