Is Your Wordpress Blog Protected

Is your WordPress blog protected.

WordPress is a fantastic platform to create weblogs and build on your business efforts. Yet! Is your precious work Protected From Content Theft.

It is my understanding that there is a huge difference between WordPress.com and

WordPress.org as far as downloading and installing 'plugins' for your unique site. The .org site is appropriate if you own and host your own domain and want to install enhanced features, the .com site is more a free user platform with limitations.

How do you protect your content on WordPress

Copyright notices obviously warn any offender that you hold the original source material (dont forget you need to save your entire content including unique images on file for any later 'bun fights' you may encounter) A copyright symbol can be created by your own PC or you can install a plugin to automatically produce copyright notification on your WordPress posts and pages. I personally have started using Digiprove, there are others though such as Copyscape.

There is however another very useful plugin to increase your chance of Content Theft Protection. This plugin will disable both the right click and left click drag and drop of any content on your posts or pages, and you can provide a pop-up warning message for any would be thief. Think about it for a moment! No right click, No viewing of source code. Blog Protector is a free plugin to install.

You can test the results on my site http://www.wmpnz.com

Now its not the be all and end all of content theft, same as your 'state of the art' car alarm can be intruded on by any well educated professional thief, or a Speed Detector used by law enforcement agents that cant be beaten by the latest release of Radar Detector to the market that blocks the signal. At the end of the day we are simply taking precautionary methods onboard to act as a warning and deterrent.

How valuable is your content to you!

Darshika Prakash   Student you shared good tips to protect the blog Feb 2nd 2012 02:45

Don Dousharm   Entrepreneur, Publisher Hi TrevPearman, Nice heads up article. I myself run a membership site and have become certified with s2members. The protection is state of the art and I carry a badge on the site. Usually what I post is updates about the site itself so not really concerned of theft of content. Also all of my files are well protected and in no way are able to be accessed without me knowing about it.I also carry a copyright notice in the footer and state all content is protected by copyright laws. It is also stated in the TOS and other legal documents as protection for myself and my business. The last thing I need to do is create a trademark and hopefully that will come soon. I guess my point is using an outside source and ssl as proof of ownership and protection is a business practice that should never be ignored. Thanks for your information. Feb 2nd 2012 10:15

Guy Macino   Online Money Great advice Trev, I will do a search on wordpress now. Feb 2nd 2012 10:17

Warren Contreras   Old Retired Guy I invite people to steal my content if it helps them. The more people I can help, the more money seems to show up on my bottom line. Feb 2nd 2012 10:36

Trev Pearman   IM Coach IMMACC mbr Thanks everyone for the great comments and ideas Feb 2nd 2012 14:02

Dr Don Yates Sr PhD   Entrepreneur, Mentor, Advisor, CEO Nice tips, but I agree with Oldbuddy, if my material helps someone, then great. For years someone has taken something of mine, which I find a complement. Few of us have the time or means to pursue a claim of copyright infringement Feb 2nd 2012 15:07

Paula van Dun   Social Marketing works. I really would not know where to start to pursue a claim. For written content I don't mind so much Feb 2nd 2012 16:05
