I ended up having to follow her because of blog hop rules and like you said, it's all in the past at this point. She's not a little girl, but a grown woman who should know the rules of the Internet playground!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04937506552183164326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268017108006645134.post-23269066353350979992012-12-20T20:25:46.618-05:002012-12-20T20:25:46.618-05:00It is definitely interesting, but judging by her b...It is definitely interesting, but judging by her blog stats that she posted up, I think her success is due to her youtube video. I don't think people know its the same person, only the people who encountered this post. Sucks that this happened to me twice, but the second one was a "blog designer" who plagiarized. But it's been over so many months now that it doesn't matter to me anymore. She placed my acknowledgement into that post and that's all I wanted from the very start.

So far it has 60,000 likes, 8,000 shares and 2,500 comments. Very very angry - I have only 2000 views on my blog and she's not replying to my emails or posts on her wall!!! Any ideas on what do to?

Sometimes I don't know if people are truly unaware that as easy as it is to copy and paste things on the Internet, it's still wrong to copy and not credit the original source. We see this with pictures all the time. If this blogger is going to copy your sentences verbatim, they should be in quotes with a reference to your blog. People get thrown out of university for plagiarism, it's a big deal!

Someone PMed me on Twitter over a month ago that they came across <a href="http://ashleyschoicexo.blogspot.ca/2012/01/glossybox-comes-to-canada-yay.html" rel="nofollow">this post</a> and how it was <b>very</b> similar to <a href="http://www.stylishandliterate.com/2012/01/glossybox-comes-to-canada.html" rel="nofollow">my post</a>. The blogger even used the same picture -- and I know because when I took the screenshot, I edited out the top right corner to hide the social media links.<br /><br />I was really annoyed at first, but I just let it go. I probably would've taken more action if the blogger had plagiarized a post that wasn't so generic. <br /><br />But I totally understand where you're coming from. You did your research for this post and it's a little unsettling to have someone just blatantly copy.<br /><br />Imitation is a sincere form of flattery but not when they botch it with spelling/grammar errors.Aleezahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813339164711993998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268017108006645134.post-71863476118032466922012-03-23T11:59:24.215-04:002012-03-23T11:59:24.215-04:00while i would *try* to view it as flattery, i woul...while i would *try* to view it as flattery, i would most certainly feel annoyed at the very least. especially if it's this obvious - the "personally" brand blunder is a dead giveaway. copy-and-paste (even if a few details are changed) is a big no-no in my book. :(Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04539224607345126393noreply@blogger.com
