To show how easy it is for plagiarized news sites to get ad revenue, I made my own - CNBC
  • In recent years, it’s become common for fraudsters to make ad-supported “news” sites with content scraped from legitimate publishers.
  • After realizing how common this is, I made my own site with content from CNBC to see if it would be approved by ad tech partners.
  • Within days, I had the ability to monetize my site with legitimate advertisers.
Last month, a story I’d written had just gone live. I punched a few keywords into Google search to pull it up so I could grab the link.

That was when I noticed a publication called the “New York Times Post” had also just published a story with the exact same headline.

When I clicked the link, I noticed that it was my story in its entirety. And it had ads all over it.
