		<description>How about Google finding out that there are several versions of the text published? Won´t that hurt your PR?
I&#039;m a little afraid of that :)</description>

		<description>Hi Susan, in that case it will effect your rankings and your PageRank, you need to try and build up the authority of your blog so that the spammers can&#039;t take your rankings, if you build up your authority then the spammers will not be able to beat you and your rankings and PageRank will not be effected. If you use Wordpress then you should get the plugin that Aaron has mentioned in this post. Try and build links to your blog any way you can, submit it to blog directories, swap links with 2 or 3 other bloggers in your niche, have your friends submit your best posts to social bookmarking websites and after a while you will not have to worry about anyone stealing your rankings. Post your URL and I will hook you up with a couple of directory listings which may help a bit.</description>

		<description>I beg to differ.  Those copies do damage!   The copies DO definitely change SERP results, even if they don&#039;t obviously seem to change PR.

It may depend on how much has been copied and reposted, but Google does NOT apparently know which version is the &quot;original&quot; when someone puts my content up on a new domain. My whole site frequently gets scraped.  They change the copyright from mine to theirs and publish it on another domain name.  As soon as it happens, my site drops lower or out of the top 10.  So, I dig around until I find the newest copy.  As soon as I zap it with DCMA, my site pops back up.

One guy broke my site up across around 20 MFA sites (Thanks Wayne - love &quot;Made for AdSense&quot;), and I was able to shut him down by reporting him to Google as a spammer.  Did keep my fingers crossed that time that they wouldn&#039;t think I was a spammer, too, though.  But, they didn&#039;t.

Wish the ad networks, like Google and Yahoo!, were MUCH more picky about AdSense publishers - it&#039;s almost always a MFA or &quot;Made for Yahoo! Search Marketing&quot; site that&#039;s guilty.  Too much trouble to do all that content creation - it&#039;s hard work!</description>

		<description>Hi Jack, it will not have any effect on your PageRank as long as Google knows that yours is the original.</description>

		<description>I get scraped a lot and because they&#039;re using the whole of the article, which nearly always includes links to other articles of mine, they&#039;re doing more good than harm.

Legally chasing them down would be a total waste of effort and money. Most of these websites are MFA (Made For AdSense) efforts, which would be a like chasing a ghost...</description>
