This can be either by downloading the content or getting the data from RSS feeds. These scraper sites do not credit the original source which is actually violating the copyright law by reprinting the content without appropriate permission. Also, these scraper sites, create lot of confusion among the search engines (but not so easy) which actually affects the search engine rankings. This in turn leads to the duplicate content issue as the same content is present (copied) everywhere.Here are some of the ways mentioned to save your blog from becoming a scraper site and prevent getting penalized by search engines.1) Dont use PLR articles directly on your blogPrivate label rights (PLR) is a concept used in Internet Marketing and derived from private labeling.
