    I see some of my text in these sites. They have used my content without my permission. I have even mailed them this morning but have not yet heard from them. Is there any other way I can do or should do to combat this probelm.

    The sites that have copied my content are shown below

    If they don't contact you get in touch with their host.

    Hey !

    Here is a great post by Dan Richard about what to do step by step:
    Guide to taking action against the site rippers

    And if you want to punish them real hard (and i would, i hate those content suckers), you can file a DMCA complaint at Google to get their Google Adsense account blocked. 100% succes rate. Good luck :)

    You can also request them for a linkback, and in case they do not reply, must go for the option Philarmon has mentioned.

    Philarmon suggestion is excellent. Google comes down heavily on plagiarism in content.
