   thanks timethief....I've also found the technorati support link and I'm going to report it straight away....Do you think that it's just a way of getting people to log onto their site? So I guess that I shouldnt have made it a discussion cause it'll get people to log on.
   
   it was just a bit of a shock

      Let's be clear here. All the splogger did was take an excerpt from your post and then link back to your site. Is that correct? If so then there's nothing "illegal" about it, aside from the fact that they did not correctly attribute the authorship of the excerpt to yourself.

   yes timethief...you could go and have a look at the technorati page (no porn there) but you'll see the link.
   
   
   I'm not worried about copyright....more about Flowers and Scorpions blog being used as a springboard for a porn merchant.
   
   Also...does Technorati accept porn sites (and give them a 5 rating) ...better than Flowers and Scorpions (only got a 2)
   
   I'm starting to see a glimmer of a smile in all this....at the same time can the link have any other damaging effects?
   
   I'm still naive about the internet and blogging in many ways.
   
   As I say...it was the shock of seeing my excerpt attributed to "Taylor Bow...her best blow jobs"
   
   I don't know whether to laugh or not.

      Technorati does not censor. Generally speaking, the content in a hard core prono blog is masturbatory material ie. images. Because sploggers do not really write anything they help themselves to excerpts that they can use as suggestive "teasers" and operate the "splog" for the purpose of making advertising income.

   so how is my blog involved....will any unsuspecting person try to reach my blog and find themselves in an unexpected environment? Can any other harm happen in this particular instance, or should I just forget it?

   I have this crap done to me all the time. They use a link back to my site, but give the wrong author name. In my case I follow it from my blog through the comment they leave there. Then I leave a comment about how flattered I am that they felt my content was worthy of stealing, but that they sited the wrong author. Don't know if anyone gets a chance to read the comment, but it was the only thing that I knew what to do at the time.
   
   Hasn't happened recently, thank goodness.
