Thanks for the great tips on the DMCA guidelines. I have had loads of people steal content from me in the past and could never do anything about it… until now.

Hey Dylan,

Thanks for the response to my earlier comment. I found two sites that had copied several of my pages verbatim, changing only the company name.

I filed a DMCA with Godaddy (hosting) and with Weebly. It worked! Both sites were taken down within about 36 hours. An owner of one site wrote to me and apologized that he did not know that his site designer had copied my pages. He said that he would personally write replacements.

Thank you for the article on this page! It certainly helped me.

Wait 24 hours and file a DMCA which will remove their content from the web.

Thank you!
After reading this article and comments, I tried checking one of my sites on copyscape. I was surprised to find somebody had copied the four key pages almost verbatim, only changing the company name.

He put it on Weebly, which is some kind of free page site. I will send him an email asking him to take down the pages and if not hopefully Weebly will shut down the site.

Any suggestions on what I should do if he won’t take down the plagiarized pages?

Thanks

You’ll right.. sometimes i’ve tried hard to make some unique article but another blog copy it and get more traffic from it without link or trackback. Thanks for share

Have just seen someone blatantly copying my article and stripping all links and replacing with his own! To make matters worse he’s ranking higher than me! Have done the DMCA submission to Google but I doubt they’ll do anything. This guy has no contact info on his site (even though has Adsense on it) and whois info is protected. Annoying!!!

hi,

Google will penalizes the duplicate content because Google will not give importance to duplicate content sites in terms of search engine ranking and visibility.

There is lots of webmasters who use other popular site’s content to make their own sites popular. But it is wrong. If you are using other site’s content then you must be declare that the content is taken from xyz… sites. Even google does not like to duplicate content and you may be banned in Google search engine.
