Catching content scrapers is a tedious task and can take up a lot of time. The are few ways that you can utilize to catch content scrapers.
Search Google with Your Post Titles
Yup that is as painful as it sounds. This method is probably not worth it specially if you are writing about a very popular topic.
Trackbacks
If you add internal links in your posts, you will notice a trackback if a site steals your content. This way is pretty much the scraper telling you that they are scraping your content. If you are using Akismet, then a lot of these trackbacks will show up in the SPAM folder. Again, this will only work if you have internal links in your posts.
Webmaster Tools
If you use google webmaster tools, then you are probably aware of the Links to your site page. If you look under “Traffic”, you will see a page that says Links to your site. Chances are your scrapers will be among the top ones there. They will have hundreds if not thousands of links to your pages (considering that you have internal links).
