Hey You Stole My Article! Blog as an Index Driver vs SB Program?

I have a couple of questions about indexing webpages. I recently notices, by my Google Alert, that my Ezine Article has been indexed..only one problem..it had been swiped off I guess a site that used an autobogger through an RSS feed and it was indexed before my article was. Of course no credit was given to my article and my anchor text links were stripped. I did an info:articleaddress and notice that Google cached it the next day however my webmaster tools is still now showing that it indexed the link. When I search for the title I get mine as #1 and theirs as #2. I take it that I will get the credit for this article?

Also I have a friend that explained the use of an index driver which was basically a blog that you added an editorial opinion to a bunch of other content and occasionally linking to one of you articles just make sure they get indexed and the proper credit is given.

My question is do you think a social bookmarking service that allows you to within 24 hours get 5-10 unique bookmarks back to your article would get indexed faster than a so-called index driver? My ping list has a ton of sites, but I know it still takes some time when you first start for the

"Big G" to come index your blog. How fast does it usually take for Google to index and follow SB Bookmarks? Would it be better if I ran them through some kind of RSS feed? I just want to make sure I can quickly claim the content I bust my bottom to produce as mine and make sure no one swipes it where I get no credit.

This is a tough one sometimes. Google does not always assign ownership to the first site indexed. I'd say a link from another blog or website is going to be a stronger factor than a social bookmarking site.

If you run the article through a "full RSS feed", it seems to me that you are making it easier for someone to take the whole thing and post is as their own content. But it seems to me that a blog without any RSS feed is at a big disadvantage, even in gathering a regular readership. So if you do add a feed, I'd make it a partial feed, rather than the full article.
