I discovered that a web site has copied the text of a page of a blog of mine. Now, if I try to search in Google this text, I don't find my blog, but the site that copied my text. Some details: Both of web sites has pagerank 3. Using the link operator in Yahoo my blog has 57 results, the other site 79. My domain name is active since november 2006, the other since october 2004. The text copied is more recent than mine (obviously!). Conclusion: Google thinks that the other web site is more important than mine. What do you think about it? And, in your opinion, how can I solve it?
I feel like I am spamming my site now..... but you can copy some ones article and use randompaper.com to automatically change the words in his blog/article for a brand new rewrite just about
Well, you can try contacting Google and explaining the issue to them. At least give it a try. Secondly, you might contact the website owner and kindly ask him to remove the content due to a copyright infringement. If he doesn't reply, you might contact his web hosting provider and explain the problem. They might then make him pull it down from his site. Web hosting companies don't want to have troubles with copyright infringements so they might help you - especially if the website owner is from the same country as you - because in that case you could sue him or his web hosting provider.

I have contacted Google some months ago, but no answer. Yes, I'll contact first the webmaster and then the hoster. Thanks.
Is there copyright for content even if you do not register it? Are you allowed to let's say "get ideas" from a content and modify it? Where is the line?
It's only text written by me. I haven't written "copyright, etc." No, I haven't said it. This is my page copied: speleoblog.it/speleologia, and this is the page with text copied: canisciolti.biz/photo-speleo.htm (the first text running).
Have you heard about the name of Mattcutts. Try to contact him. He will definately solve your problem and try to send complain to google again. Threat the webmaster of the website. Tell him/her that you are seriously taking action now.
Yes, I know Matt Cutts, but I think he cannot be disturbed for this kind of problem... I know his blog, but no email contact there...
i think google gives more credibility to that site based on how old it is and if it anyway have some good content besides the stolen one. i do not agree with this but i think that`s why. just my 2 cents.
they shouldn't be using your content you have copyright rules on your side. Contact the website owner first to address the problem. If they don't, go to the sites hosting provider
