How to prevent content theft

Have you ever stumbled across a website that has ripped off the copy you poured hours of sweat and tears into writing? What can you do about it?

Some webmasters employ javascript alerts (‘Don’t even think about it!’) to put off sneaky thieves from copying anything on the page, and others don’t allow users to right-click at all. They are right to not take the issue lightly – duplicate content will not help your SEO efforts.

However, there are other tactics you can employ, which allow users to retain their freedom to click and copy what they like, whilst still giving you the ability to give content thieves a cheeky kick in the crotch.

Looking ahead to HTML 5

Currently, all important content, is mostly found within either a <div> or a <span> HTML tag. I cannot emphasise the importance of content from an SEO perspective enough but here I shall focus on the HTML tags the content is found within. You may ask what is the importance of what tag is used for your content? Now there may not be a huge difference but in the future it seems that the HTML tags your content is found within may have a significant impact upon Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and your website.
