Mark Cuban has another blog entry dealing with splogs. This time he is responding to a complaint by Steve Rubel that his content is being stolen. Mark’s answer to the problem is to have Blog search engines not index splogs that steal content; only the original entry would be indexed.
This is only half the solution, though. It’s not just blog search engines that find blog content, regular search engines do too. It’s a little harder for regular search engines to filter out duplicate blog entries because they have no knowledge of individual entries, only pages, and its harder for them to know the originator of content if the content is stolen quickly.
