This week’s WordPress plugin, RSS Footer by Joost de Valk, has become very popular recently. I normally try to focus on lesser known plugins but as I’m pushing out more posts on this blog the problem of people scraping my content is becoming more prevalent. That’s where RSS Footer comes into play.

With RSS Footer you can turn the tables on the scrapers and add text and links to your posts that only appear on the RSS feed. Now when your feed gets scraped and the content is posted on an auto-blog you can get an instant backlink to your site. Pretty clever.
