Should I be flattered or angry?

[temi]

I have been making efforts to revive my blogs, hence I have been blogging often this days. One think I noticed is that the minute I post a blog, a few sites link to it, thy usually use a paragraph or two from my blog and then link to it, I think this is nice.
I found another blog that actually copied the whole blog, he gave me credit etc but somehow I am not sure he should copy the entire article but at present I am just too flattered that anyone considers my blog worth linking to take any action.

Are they using your RSS fed to create the posts on their blogs? many people use auto blog software using RSS feeds (obviously the guy usingthe whole post is not. I would contact him and ask him to remove it, ESPECIALLY if his blog has a higher PR than yours.

yeah, there's the whole duplicate content thing. but google won't punish you for this if it has your post recorded first in its archives. the first one is the real one, the ones recorded after it are duplicates according to google.

In an ideal world possibly, but in practice it don't work that way. Google will show the page it decides is the most IMPORTANT, it doesn't give a damn which is the original page. Copy & Cloack is acommon way to remove the competition from the serps, but as a white hat I will not go into this method
