Rob: thanks for the correct usage, my dutch is only as good as babelfish

Discontas: I couldn’t find reference to me saying stick your fingerprint in two different places. I suggest only using it once. How and where you choose to use it is up to you. There are no hard and fast rules!

Thanks for your comments everyone.

The Dutch translation for watch you used, horloge, means wrist watch. In this context the correct word to use is kijk.

A delberate mistake?

As this unqiue text is inserted into the RSS feed (the fingerprint) I would recommend putting in inside its own paragraph. e.g. your fingerprint term is as follows: your_unqiue_fingerprint

Why? Well I followed your recommendation and put my fingerprint at the start of the first paragraph and at the end of the last paragraph. When reading this in a RSS New reader, the fingerprint is displayed as normal text and, in my terms, buggers up the professionalism of your own content.

I am inserting my fingerprint onto the end of my posts now and I have made part of my fingerprint self explanatory so as not to confuse the human reader.

I know this makes the fingerprint stand out more, and may make it easier for the copycats to extract this string, but there are many types of formats you can use, and it would take a spammer a long time to construct an algorithm to catch all these fingerprint formats.

True! However, as far as I can tell the only motivation to do so would be spite. No one is going to gain or steal traffic from doing this, and your finger print is changeable at any time.
