Hi Maybe I am just taking a negative viewpoint on this, but say if you post an original article on one of the article sites, what's to stop someone removing your link and just spinning the article and putting it on their own website as original content?
Yes, this can (and will) happen. But google is smart enough to see, that this isn't a unique article and will penalize this website somehow. Yourself shouldn't do that. It will not help you realy and can give you even legal trouble if someone insist of his right.
I completely agree with JakMike You should not worry about this, google is there to take care. Hope you have a great working time online!
that risk is very real... google may not always be there for you especially when the one stealing the content has higher rank than you.. there is a copyscape.com where you can submit your original work.. and if you find out later someone steals your content, contact the ISP where the content is hosted... they are better at administrating the justice in a case like this.. read through DMCA and it helps too .. ISP does not want to facilitate breaking the law...
it happens all the time and not much you can do about it. so stop worrying about it and keep submitting. you do what you can do and not worry too much about things that is beoyond your control. content thieves are out there at large and it is just not your content that may get stolen, everyone publishing articles are on the same boat.
Nothing can stop them. But if that site is spidered every night, your article will be indexed. I wouldn't worry about it anyway. If that person does rewrite it, so what? Just about all information out there is similar in some way. Besides, Google's computers cannot detect a spinned artice from the original. Both will be indexed. And don't put so much stock in seo and organic traffic. It is not that big of a deal anyway.
