I don't see it as link juice, because for me it isn't. But in the past I chased so many, and when one stopped, another would start. Eventually I got tired. But, it is my content, whose usage should be earning my money, so content thieves are worth pursuing.

Cathy, I give about as much stock to the title "A-lister" as I do the title "self-appointed guru." Says nothing other than someone really enjoys attention. 🙂

That's where the misconception is running rampant. It is NOT free link juice, as you aptly phrased it (I'm so using that from now on!), but it's theft and usually by someone who has no clout or traffic to warrant such "free link juice." Worse, they're making ad revenue from our work. BIG no-no, and writers who don't pay attention to that are setting a dangerous precedent.

Oh, you've got me going now! LOL

It also shows you don't have to be an A-lister to create change. 🙂

Way to shut him down!

Remember I said I was going to notify the "A-listers" I knew that their content was also on the guy's site?

Well, I did, and they didn't care. I actually went through someone I know who works with them on occasion (since I don't rub elbows with them-LOL!) My impression was they just saw it as more link juice.

So glad you stood up for your rights!
