To avoid this, always make sure to include your website link in anchor text.

ie <a href="http://smartguy . com/web_design_services">Web Design</a>

Now if somebody scrapes your content, he would be actually giving you a back link.

You can sit back and enjoy playing mario while scrapers will bump their heads against their computers
What's to prevent the scraper from replacing your root with his?
