    Hello

    I checked google with a search of "one big sentence from my site" and google returned proxy sites like proxysite.com/somescript.cgi?http://www.mysite.com in higher position than my site.

    I think it causes dupe content problem. So my question is - is there any way to stop this?

    That is a genuine problem. In theory Google attributed the ownership of the content to the first site where the content is found when the index is updated.

    This means that if someone fetched your content before Google crawled your site, and crawled that site before it crawled yours, in the eye of Google, you aren't the creator of the content.

    Do you see the problem?

    I ask about this on another forum. I was wondering exactly how this would effect a webmaster, now that it has happened to you (sorry that it has), atleast I know the outcome of us.
