Unfortunately it seemed like a lot of the submissions from our members were copy pasted from Wikipedia or other online sources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although it would be easy to quickly build a dictionary like that, it is not something we want to do.&lt;br /&gt; - 1. It is illegal&lt;br /&gt; - 2. It is not fair to other authors who spent their time writing the original material&lt;br /&gt; - 3. It is bad for our rankings as Google and others will see this as duplicate content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So over the last 24h ours I have implemented a review system to  check every submission and ensure it is not breaking any copyrights. You will also have seen this has had a very substantial effect on the member rankings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently we only have 58 keywords left in our cleaned up dictionary, so let's get writing to fill up the dictionary again, but this time with our own words.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5985048932813471834-3844626553696492806?l=www.webmastervocab.com%2Fthe_project%2Fblog%2Findex.php' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5985048932813471834/3844626553696492806/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5985048932813471834&amp;postID=3844626553696492806' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5985048932813471834/posts/default/3844626553696492806'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5985048932813471834/posts/default/3844626553696492806'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.webmastervocab.com/the_project/blog/2007/06/copyright-issues.html' title='Copyright Issues'/><author><name>Emco</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05868243386746911948</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='11915224299958161240'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry>
