While I was researching about the niche that I am trying to develop for my adsense site, I discovered some sites with exact same content. It is very obvious which one is the original because the other one is a website that has been there for the longest time already, while the other one is a personal blog. This personal blog duplicate the exact content from that website and never even dare to revise it, no source was even mentioned. And he has adsense in his site. How can this people get away with this? I mean while others are trying so hard to make their content original, some people are just copying them and making money out of it. So how can we prevent others from copying our content? how can we prove that we are the original if someone else copied it?
You can send a message saying you have found copied content on his site and he'll be reported soon to adsense. Don't say it's not yours, but don't say it's yours either. Then see how he panicks. It's for fun.
There is no way to stop this however placing a copyscape banner can help. There is great info on what do do in a situation on that site too.
There is nothing you can really do about it. Although it is annoying and frustrating you will pull your hair out worrying about it so don't.
Get ready to vomit this fellow steals major content! http://websitereview.serveftp.net/142131/digitalpoint.com Click home type your domain and see if your affected. greek39
When you see sites with exact contents (100%) don't simply conclude that the contents had been stolen because they are many lazy webmaster who had bought PLR articles and use them without making any changes.
Hah, i'm just dealing with the company involved in this and filing a DMCA as we speak. The domain is owned by dyndns.com
The conclusion should speak for itself. Maybe scroll down further on the page to view the iframe. Aside from this is not 5.5 million articles a bit extreme? Besides this is scraped material therefore theft. No permission equals copyright infringement. Not to mention the possible duplicate content penalties dished out. I beg to differ with your opinion. In any case sweetfunny is correct the domain is owned by dyndns.com. I am hoping they take affirmative action. greek39
I just fired off a DMCA using digital tracking less than 5 minutes ago. They were quite rude, and felt it wasn't a problem. So i told them i would make a script, collect the domain details of all 17,000 domains scraped and contact the owners the intellectual property has been stolen and they can expect 17,000 angry webmasters to contact them soon so to man their inbox. If you do a Google Site: command you can clearly see they have targeted high paying keywords like mortgage, poker, hosting, SEO and so on. It's blatant theft, yet Dyndns.com felt it was totally ok.
Hi mpak11, That's right! Put your time into something only to have others feed of your work. Welcome to the Google AdSense program! greek39
Well we know its' not ok, lapse in judgment on their part. Wonder how they would feel if I returned the favor? Just mirror the whole site. I think they would be against it considering: greek39
I asked him the same question, he seems to think what the domain is doing is no different then Google's cache. Simple, if he doesn't act on the DMCA i just sent him i will get a court injunction and shut the whole thing down "and" he will be liable for all expenses incurred along with damages. If he believes it's no different then Google's cache, why is there only 2 sites that return for a query of unique text from my webpage and Google is not one of them. Clown, people who are effected by this site don't worry i will ensure it's gone real soon. It won't effect my rankings because my domain is too strong, but it will cause big problems for newer sites, the page Titles are identical as well as the content causing a massive dupe problem.
Poker too? Wow I thought Google does not allow according to this: All the efforts of www.dyndns.com should be lost. greek39
Often sites with duplicate content don't rank well, so they dont' get the traffic anyway... Google is onto sites that simple copy stuff from other sites...
Actually Google isn't, they display the most authoritative page which means if the copy has more links and authority then the original you are gone.
I would guess that in the majority of cases, it works out the which is the original correctly...I'm sure there are always exceptions...
Dont care about that, you will see more if you research again. Internet is open invironment and everything you show is everything you share. The copyright may be show here if is your content and copyright law still dont know how to prevent this. Are you sure in youtube.com or something like that everything is copyrighted and it's law? Problem here is consciousness of user. They dont lose anything if they put a link back to the author of article. Right? and the copyright here only think the link back and said that this article written by someone and back link to their homepage. I Dont think it's better if you try to report him. even it's help other (here is the author of article). Just contact him first and ask him to look at article that he posted. I think everything will ok. I'm not lawyer but, i think, everybody can see, law is law, but law base on people' sentiment. First, just think about DMCA like someone said.
