What a great post Gerald.

I have seen my content stolen far too may times that I simply gave up. I mean most of these sites go out of business in a few months or so any way. Most of them are newbies who red on a forum or a blog about autobloggging and they think they can do it by stealing content. Of course, after a few months of not making a dime, they simply give up the site.

Of course, its always a good idea to report these things. To be honest, I really didn’t know who to turn to. So, I just didn’t worry about it too much. I think contacting Google or the host is very good option. Thanks.

Great idea about changing graphics, Gerald.

I am sure that people have done this and put up some pretty offensive pictures as a means to deliver a message to scrapers.

Hilarious…:)

This is very serious. I don’t even believe that people can be doing such a thing and still think they can taste success online. Thanks a lot for this awesome information.

cool, hadn’t heard about Copyscape before. Going to give it a try right away!

Of course, that’s only to find stuff that already has been copied from your blog. I’m definitely going to try out that Tynt plugin to make sure I get a link back when my articles are copied.

Thanks for the tips Gerald, makes a lot of sense to contact the owners of the platform. I recall contacting the owner of the blogger but he didn’t bother removing the stolen content!

If it is a free blogging platform like blogger, you can contact blogger and lodge a complaint. They have a tos and as far as I know posting unoriginal content is against their tos.

In fct I have a friend that had that exact issue and blogger suspended the account of the offender.

What can I do if the content is posted on some free webhosting service or blog like blogpost? It happened to me in the past and there was nothing I could do about it..though I am pretty sure these pages weren’t stealing any traffic from my website with the copied content.
