Every blog, even low-profile ones like Job is a Four Letter Word, is a potential target for scrapers. For those unfamiliar with the term: Scrapers take advantage of a site’s RSS feed to reproduce the content on their own site. Why? Usually to try & attract a bottom-feeder quantity of
AdSense clicks.

Joost de Vaalk, SEO maven and author of several very helpful Wordpress plugins, has just released RSS Footer. As he wrote:

It was actually a plugin requested by Shoemoney, who wanted to make the scrapers work for him too, by getting some more backlinks from them.

It simply adds a link back to your site at the bottom of your RSS feed. Optionally, you can also add an additional link to the specific post using the post title.

If someone’s going to rip off your content, which is almost inevitable, you may as well see a little benefit from it.
