I recently noticed that somebody copied my blog content to their site. Will google track it automatically or should I have to do something about it? If i can, what should I do? Regards
They don't pay attention to DMCA stuff without a court order. You've got to send a cease and desist to the other site owner.
For all the big talk from Google, they won't even block a website that's stealing content from your blog (unless you are spend $10,000 on Adwords every month).
Yes Google does, eventually Google penalize site doing so, or search engine spider didn't crawl their site at all.
That's one of the million dollar questions. I think it does, but it may take some time. I suggest that for faster action just contact them and let them know. Or simply wait and find out if they do or not and when.
You have to do your share not to let spammers and copy bloggers steal content from you. Secondly unique content appers first on google serp and then comes copies. so chill. cheers Josh
If someone copies your content and gives more link juice to their copy, their copy still ranks higher. All you can do about it is threaten the other site with legal action.
It's plagiarism and theft which is illegal, I wouldn't bother going to Google, I take my complaints to the site's host normally. No website host wants to be caught hosting illegal content and spam. If you show them that little spam farm that sprung up on their servers they'll take action.
Well i'm sure they know, otherwise they will not make a big deal of the latest algorithm update mainly focused on unique content.
But this is how it works. If a website smaller than yours copies your content, Google Search will penalize your website. But if a website larger than yours (such as Wikipedia) copies your content, they will penalize your website, because they think you copied wikipedia.
