Hi Friends!! I am new to this field of SEO. I gone through some articles and pages about it. There are some works ready with me for free downloads!!! I am little confused that: Is getting copyright for my work is important or getting CC is enough? If getting CC is enough, how to proceed? Anybody to help?
Hello Syed. Copyright is assumed on all original works. However, there is more you can do to prevent theft: services like Copyscape let you find duplicates of your articles online and report them for take down. CC is a type of copyright license - usually to give others permission to reuse your work. So, just start your site.
Dont worry about copywriting....as your content will be scrapped no matter what. But Google does a good job of giving you credit if you publish it first. Look up duplicate content
google prioritises articles on a number of factors. Being first to publish isn't one of them. Google finding it at your site first *is*.
Sorry, the work with me is not related to content or about article, it is a website coded with html. For a website to be given for free download with some particular CC license, whether i have to go for copyright?????
google will detect it automatically, we all know that original content is the highest priority of google. when you'd like to proceed on CC submit your article on article directories after putting it on your original site.
Google does not determine which version of a piece of content is original and which are duplicate based on when it is first published. Publish date/times can easily be spoofed or backdated. Nor do they base it on when they first crawled the content. This would be TOTALLY unfair to sites that are crawled infrequently. Some sites only get crawled every couple of weeks or even once per month, especially when they are first indexed and have no inbound links. If Google used when the content was first crawled as a determining factor then these sites that are crawled infrequently would be at high risk of having ALL of their new content stolen and "claimed" by other sites which get crawled more frequently between crawls. One way to help Google determine that your content is the original is to add a link within your content that points to itself. So if you have a new post on your blog at example.com/post-name/ simply put a link somewhere in that post to example.com/post-name/. If someone sucks your post down and republishes it, if the process is automated then they will frequently leave all of the links in the content. So now at least SOME of the duplicate, stolen copies will be pointing back to the original. It's not perfect, but Matt Cutts and others at Google have said this is one way to help them detect duplicates and determine the original. And as others have said... You content IS copyrighted the minute you first publish it. Any unauthorized copies the get subsequently posted on the web can be forced to be taken down by contacting the offenders web hosting company and completing a DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act) take down request. Most web hosts will make sure the offending content is taken down within 24-48 hours.
