Question [Weird trackbacks] Hey, that was my post!

Hello Blogosphere!

Just wondering...

This happened to me a few time. I write a post, publish it, and next thing you know, some weird blog would link to it.

Let's say with this post: Things I learned in 2007

I got the following trackback, on this blog: The weird trackback

Or even with this post: The other side of the story

Where the words "skin cancer" were picked up somehow (although my post isn't on this subject at all) and linked to a blog displaying all the "skin cancer" terms (link is now gone).

What's the point of that? What's the point of these "blogs"? Should I worry about this kind of trackback? I don't publish them on my blog anyway...

Thanks!

So their whole post is stolen? It will help you that they linked you but I would be concerned if their post was purely your material.

It's not the whole post but a part of it:

Things I Learned In 2007

Tweaking my template and making all the little graphics for this blog was relaxing. … I now get up at 7:30 most day, but I treat myself to a good book in the bus, a nice cup of hot chocolate when I arrive downtown and I’m…

Still, I wonder what is the point, since the blog seem to be only showing quote of random posts.

And I've just notice that even this post has been "taken" by another one of these weird blogs:

Well they are linking you, whatever they are, and giving you credit so might as well let them.

Well, I'm still not vey comfortable with that. I mean, if anyone link to me or quote me (what? I can dream, right!) in a meaningful context, or at least on a real blog, I certainly don't mind.

But since I'm not sure what are these "blogs" for...

Ask them whatt on earth they are doing and if they can stop, if you can see a way to contact them. They might be trying to catch some of your search engine traffic?

Nope, no way to contact any of the two blog owner... the "about" section is empty (well, it's the WordPress default one) and there is nothing personal on the blog. Just a collection of posts by other bloggers.

Can you tell how old it is? It may be an attempt to set up an easy blog for PPP.

Only December archives are available for the "Hot Blog", so I guess a month.
