Last week I bought several articles for my blog to keep it fresh, with unique content. Today I've got pingback from website which is just started life with no authority, no rank and etc. I've visit this site and was surprised- all my article is copied (not exerpt- all!!!), + bloger added some images from other websites. At the end of article left exact link to my original article, and left links to original image source. This blogger does not own any content, any picture and just resourcing all he thinks might be valuable. I wonder: What is gona be now?- I do not want penalty for duplicate content. Don't want somebody resource all my content I publish... Basicly I have bought content from person Optimized my article for special keyword I want to rank for (good cpc rate and search volume and etc) What should be my next step?- leave it alone or? Any advice?
You're already past this step but for reference, here's how to find out if you're being copied somewhere. And here's some info I found on your question. Good luck. SO sorry this happened to you
If you're writing on Wordpress I'd recommend the DigiProve plugin that will document your work. Again, if these articles are bought you want to be very sure the vendor is not selling the content to others. If another site copies it at that point, with proper documentation you can approach them and request they take it down. If they do not comply and you really want to take it seriously I'd escalate and potentially consult an attorney but remember, if they are in another country that will be quite tough to fight them. It is always polite to ask a time or two before going public with it, even though you are the victim and not at fault.
