Everyone is talking about Apple’s iPad. It is a great device, and it certainly has a huge share of the tablet market right now, but it’s not the only game in town. Before you plunk down several hundred dollars on an iPad, you should take a serious look at Android tablets. As great as the iPad is, there are some features that make the Android a better choice.
Flash Support
One of the biggest aggravations for Apple iPad users is that it doesn’t support Adobe Flash.

Don’t you just hate it when you spend hours on a blog post only to see the exact same content in another site? It takes you a long time to come up with a particular topic or idea, a little bit more to put the bits and pieces together, and then some more to actually write out the post. And, just like that, someone thinks he/she can take your content – live off your hard work!
It is thus no surprise that various sectors – and individuals as well – have made it their mission to help bring down splogs (including us). This endeavor also means taking certain steps on your part to ensure that your blog content is protected to a certain degree.

What can you do to make it hard for sploggers to steal your content?
Plugins
There are many plugins that you can utilize to make it harder for sploggers to steal your content. They work in various ways, the end goal being the same: to protect your content. Some plug ins work by disabling functions that will allow the text to be manually copied. Others work by feeding bots fake content when they try to steal the content.

For the longest time, the issue of plagiarism was seen as only occurring within the province of the academia. Copying and stealing another person’s work is only a problem in colleges and universities, and of course the occasional seedy journalist. The internet was pure and pristine. No one would dare steal someone’s work and then pass it off as their own. Of course, we all know that the internet is now the primary battleground for plagiarists and the hard-working people who actually write original content. More and more people are seeing plagiarism as a growing problem but, unfortunately, many also think that there’s nothing anyone can do to combat this crime.
But there are actually many things that a person can do to help combat plagiarism. There are many kinds of recourse they can take in order to curb this intellectual theft of original content that is being used for splogs and other dubious endeavors online. The first thing that should be done is to become vigilant. As holders of original content, a person must always be aware about the threat of plagiarism.
One important thing you should know about splogs is that it will happen — whatever you do, unscrupulous people will set up splogs that will irritate us and make searching for the correct information just a little harder. But for internet surfers, a splog is an inconvenience at the most.
It’s not the same thing with web site and blog owners. Splogs pose a bigger problem because splog operators are also copyright thieves. Splogs are notorious for stealing the content of other web sites and it is only a matter of time before sploggers get hold of your content and use it for their splogs.
One of the first things you must do when dealing with splogs and content stealing is that this kind of robbery will happen. No one is immune from it so you should be prepared about it happening to you. With the continued explosive growth of the internet, content is becoming more and more precious. And as with anything that has value, some people will try to steal it.
It’s the reason why you should have a plan in place in case someone steals the content of your web site or blog.
Next time I’ll tell you more about how to handle content stealing.
It’s interesting to note that almost all splogs use Javascript. The reason for this is that Javascript allows sploggers to embed their site with instructions that will increase their “revenue” from all visitors.
For example, they input Javascript instructions for generating pop-up windows when you enter the site or when you click on a link. These windows open up even when you leave the site. Regardless on what triggers the pop-ups, these are one of the most annoying things you will see on the internet and it goes to show how poorly sploggers treat internet visitors when they don’t care if you have a horrendous experience on their site just as long as they earn money doing so.
Your mouse is a great tool in immediately finding out if a blog or web site is actually a splog. You have to remember that most splogs are nothing more than link lists. A good way to immediately determine if a blog is actually a splog is by gliding your mouse over any link in the page. If you see a very long code and not the usual links that is quite familiar to anyone who surfs the net then you’ve found a splog. That long code is actually the affiliate clickthrough information.
Of course, sploggers are quite devious in that they also have other ways of going around this easy tell. Some sploggers actually have hidden link information. This means that when you hover over a link in a splog you won’t see the link appearing in the status bar. Of course, when you think about it, a legitimate web site won’t go through the trouble of hiding a link so, ironically enough, it becomes another clue that you are visiting a splog.
Why do people operate splogs? The simple answer is money. Splogs can generate money for its operators without them having to put a lot of hard work on actual content.
Splogs earn money from advertising affiliate programs and other ad-based schemes to generate advertising links. They put in links that will fool you into thinking that these are recommendations to informative articles but are actually ad links — and these people earn from every click.
There are other splogs that earn money from hosting while others are more unscrupulous and earn from every click that an unsuspecting visitor will make on the splog pages.
That’s why you should be vigilant in looking at web sites. You wouldn’t want to be an unwitting contributor of money to these splog owners.
