I owe epaperwiki.com and the problem is that many feed readers sites are publishing articles synopsis exclusively on their site and as such this creates duplicate copy of my blog articles if you view it from the Google Point of View. Now this creates problem with Google, inviting Panda or Penguins! I have removed my blog from these feed readers listing by contacting them or requesting them but the big problem I find is with http://feedreader.com/feed/ePaper_Wiki. I need to stop them from accepting my site feeds. I googled for the solution but no results! looks like no one is facing this problem. I find no email so that I contact the owner at http://www.feedreader.com/contact.php but no help from them! How would I stop them?? Let me know what you think!
I'm having the same problem and trying to remove my site from their feeds. The problem is I can't login to their system. trying to get the password by clicking forgot password but my email was not available in their databases. It frustrate me and almost all my friends. I can prove to them if I own the site and willing my feeds to be removed from their site but it would be impossible if the webmaster from feedreader.com didn't respond to request. The bad thing is, there is not even an explanation on how to remove the feed previously registered with them. If there is any solution for this, let me know about it.
Duplicate content per se is not a problem. You'll find so many news aggregate websites that re-post content from other sites. The problem is if the content is re-posted without attribution. If it is attributed to your website, that would be a bonus, actually--you get links, you get your content seen by more people, you get more people to know about your website. Without attribution though, you get nothing, and Google might not know that it came from your site originally.
@monsoondreams But if you have a blog which is update once a day, what happens is Google considers Feedreader.com as the first priority and this leads to making your blog content as little copy of first few lines. This has effected lot of my blogs and they are now caught up in Google Panda. Sick of FeedReader.com! @Arick Unirow Yes, you are right. Actually they have login feature but that doesn't work! Sad part is that they do it by themselves neither we or nor anyone has submitted feed to those sites. I tried to contact them via contact us, Domain support or hosting support but not help. And finally after all this I have no way to contact them!
First off, this is the biggest f'ing joke in Google that I've ever experienced. The typical ways you deal with copyright issues, all of those have not worked. This is a black hole. I would bet you that thousands of sites are now attributed as being owned by feedreader in Google's eyes. However, the worst is that people are thinking they tanked because of Google and not because well, their content is being broadcast by a bigger site which Google decided is the author and owner of the content. I'm still working on this. I'm all ears on solutions. This is far worse of a situation imo than people realize. Give me your rss feed and I'll add it to feedreader.com so you can tank along with us.
I totally agree with you. I have checked their sites at that moment and they didn't give any links to the owner. Your last sentence in your comment is what I'm really afraid. Thanks for your comment. I like it. You probably right. I have seen somewhere that the old owner sold the website to new people. It seems the new owner is responsible for this thing. I can't give any clues so don't count on me about it as I get it while searching in Google. I don't remember the links. Perhaps searching will help. I wish the problem has been solved at the moment.
Ban feedreader's IP. Of tweak your feed so it only sends out a tiny snippet of the full article. Optionally tag on a gung-ho message about how great your site is, with links both plain and anchored.
Has tried to do that few week ago using .HTACCESS with no avail. Using several combination of html syntax seems didn't work. Using PHP and Java Script to disallow the IFRAME from feedreader is the closest answer. However, I figure a something new. It seem Feedreader can be used as backlink to our domain. Hope everything work fine. Still experimenting now.
