You are the most organized person I know. Come on everyone out there - you have to agree with me. I’m going to have to disagree with you here because you must be talking about someone else.

You should remove the link above as you are simply sending backlinks to them which is generally their sole purpose for existing. Back links -> Google juice -> Advertising -> Happy splogger! Even if the link is nofollow'd the sploggers aren't that smart and probably won't notice (nofollow'ing links stops them from passing Google page rank between pages). The easiest way to do deal with these types of people is to simply ignore them. If no one links to them or visits their site at all, then they will have little hope of generating any traffic for their site. Even visiting their site means that they've at the very least got you to visit it which could be a potential revenue generator from a single Adsense click. If they've set themselves up properly then there won't be any backlinks back to your original content either. If there are only backlinks from your site to the sploggers site then there is a very real risk that Google may mistake the Sploggers site as being the home of the original content and assuming that your site is the splogging site due to the only links between the two being from your site to theirs. In a nutshell ... don't worry about sploggers. If you really want to screw them over then file a complaint with Blogger (or whoever their webhost may be) and if that doesn't work, then move onto a formal DMCA complaint. Anything else is futile and will probably do more harm than good. Lol, you do realise that giving exposure to them like this is exactly what they’re looking for right?
