Ifs its jut to get attention, then I would still say its not fair. Because, when visitors click the links and reach the blogs on the blogroll, the owners of the target blog might visit back to see who has linked to them. @Varun : Then the assumption would be that the person who is picking it up is *really intrested* in all the blogs.

A blogroll is generally just a list of links. There is nothing creative about it except maybe an interesting title. In fact if somebody copies your blogroll it may be a compliment in disguise because she is saying that she also likes to read what you read. Consider this. I come to your blog. I see your blogroll. I sample a few blogs in there and realize that you have an excellent collection of blogs. I promptly add all of them to my feedreader. I publish the list to my own blog. @Kaps: I think copying blogrolls is OK. A blogroll is generally just a list of links. There is nothing creative about it except maybe an interesting title.

But its pretty easy to detect who the culprit is. Like its said... the thief always leaves some hints behind :). Yes, regular readers can definitely sense the difference. Mezba : Good point.

One question though. How can you prove someone has copied you and it's not you that has copied him? After all, blogger lets you publish something with a backdate? I guess only your loyal readers would know about it. Hi, good read.
