Blog with links outside CP

The two links I could find seem to be quite non-critical and are used as example in the article. No publicity, no text, just two lists, one of quotes and one of images. What he explains in the tip/trick.

I think it is not site driving.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

The Blog Learning The S.O.L.I.D Programming Principles: Single responsibility principle [Part - II][^] and all other in the series by the same member point to his blog which I feel is a delibrate attempt by the author to increase the page rank of his blog.

I had searched for the same topic just a few days back and his blog was not anywhere in the results but today it is the first result.

P.S. - There is nothing substantial in his posts and somehow the better articles like SOLID architecture principles using simple C# examples[^] are being shown way down.

It's a technical blog that has been consumed by CP. There's nothing wrong with that. This really isn't an abuse article.

Yes it is a blog but each post has a Index in the beginning and though the entire series is available on CP, the links in Index are linked to the posts on his website.

Of course they are. They have been automatically pulled in from his blog. It's only natural that the links would point to the blog.

In one of his articles you say:

iRakeshJha said:
The entire series is a copy-paste from a few sources.

If this is true, then link to that sources. That would be plagiarism.

Just for the links in a automated blog entry is quite difficult. He can edit the CP-Entries and change the links, yes. But as Pete said... that is not to be reported.
