I never thought about using this for my blogs. I have been trying to keep track of spammers who are doing this because I have had published articles that were stolen and looked similar to what you posted above. When I do a trackback to someone else’s blog, I will often give the name of that person and the link to the blog post that I found interesting. I never copy and paste the other persons post not even a little bit, this lets them know that I found their post interesting without having to steal their content.

I think, spammers have yet to steal identities of authentic commentators and write spam in the comments.

Imagine someone using “benj” and writing about drugs and stuff… hehe

Spammers have become really creative nowadays. Oh well. What’s the worst thing that can happen, right?

Be careful with them. I usually delete those trackbacks on sight. I even tried commenting on the blog that copies my content hehe ^_^
