Just for fun this evening, I was searching on a rather clever / humorous term I had coined on my blog to see if I was indeed the first -- or maybe only -- person to use it online.

I was -- almost!

I then discovered, much to my chagrin, that some jerk had stolen dozens of paragraphs from my blog -- occasionally interpersing the words "big" and [breasts] throughout -- to trick the AdSense bot into thinking that his or her page had sufficient content.

I've notified the AdSense team about this, but it may well be my word against this jerk's. And since they reside in another country, it'd likely be rather challenging for me to get the offending pages removed.

Has anyone else dealt with this? I've certainly heard of sites being copied or pages being stolen before, but hadn't previously seen it done specifically in the pursuit of AdSense profits.

Anyone have any stories to tell... or advice for me?
