As he has credited the source and links back to you I'd be cool with that. I don't really see a downside. You're likely to see more traffic to your site and you're building up your own credibility as an expert because people are bothering to quote you! |
Well you have a point there but...
Imagine if I just wait until Steve write a new article and publish it here and I copy the whole article and put it on my blog and put a simple source (via stevepavlina) down the page where nobody see it and then people start commenting that they liked tha article and give me credit for the article even if I wasnt the author (What credibilty win steve for writing the article if nobody knows?).
I dont think Steve will be cool with that!
I dont really think thats good because someone its taking credit for others hard effort. And if thats good to do it then everybody can have a blog becuase you just copy other articles from others sites and put it on your blog and you dont even have to write anything.
I dont have a problem with him putting my article on his blog but Im mad because He didnt clarify that he got the article from my blog just a simple link down the page to my blog not even to the original article.
Anyway thank for the comment!
