If you’re having a problem with site scrapers stealing your content, you now have a way to make sure search engines know you are the source of the post.
If you have Yoasts WordPress SEO Plugin installed http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/
Go to > Dashboard > SEO > RSS
Look for the box called “Content of your RSS Feed”
Content to put before each post in the feed:
You can enter %%BLOGLINK%% in this box. This will display a link to your site, with your site’s name as anchor text.
Content to put after each post:
You can enter %%POSTLINK%% + some custom text or simply include %%BLOGDESCLINK%% which will display a link to your site, with your site’s name and description as anchor text.
If you do not have WordPress SEO Installed you can use the solution by Blogstorm SEO
Find your feed-rss2.php file in the wp-includes folder and add the following code to line 39 (in WP 2.3.1). The code needs to be added just after where it says <!–?php the_content() ?–>
<p><a href=”<?php the_guid(); ?>”>Permalink + Comments</a></p>
Somehow I came across your site and this info. It’s very timely since a travel blogger whose site I set up was having this scraping issue. I barely know all the ins and outs of the Yoast plugin and this really helped. Thanks.
