I don't know if this is a "usual" and accepted practice, but here goes.
I find that contributing in different forums has increased my search ratings when someone enters certain keywords into a search. Of course, we all know this.
I try not to "blog" simply for the purpose of "blogging" and I certainly put plenty of effort to keep my contributions original and worthy.
During a recent search, I found that someone has attached their website to a blog that I posted.
When you look at search results, you see my name and a partial of the blog. When you click on it, it brings you to someone else's website/contact page.
I realize that this is some form of a compliment, like when someone looks at your girlfriend because she is pretty. Looking doesn't bother me... but you can't take her home. In my mind, this is a sort of plagiarism and it bothers me. I there anything I can do to prevent this?
