My website is 4 years old, and I had original and unique content which did bring good traffic and through the years got my site ranking for a certain quality keyword on the #1 position. About a month or two ago I started putting content actively on this website again, and as soon as I started noticing some traffic increase, something happened on 8th September and all of my good ranking positions were burried 5-6 pages deep. I was astonished of what happened and wondered what I did wrong, checked everything, but nothing seemed wrong at all. I simply wrote my posts as I used to. While I looking for an explanation I stumbled upon this google penalty checker and my site got penalty of -60. I was furious at this point because I couldn't see what was wrong with my website, and why would this penalty be for. Then suddenly again while checking everything I could have think of I copied a sentence of my content and search it on google, and what I saw left me jar dropped. Some guy from Bangladesh had copied all of my content on his blog at blogspot, and he ranked higher than me!! The date he had put all of his copied posts is the same moment my traffic started dropping, and when I got the penalty!! I tried contacting him on facebook, Yahoo, email, gmail... everything he had, and I even did it politely, but he simply ignores me. Then I filled a DMCA at google, since his blog is hosted at blogger, and I also filled a reconsider my website application at google. Two days has passed and I still haven't got any results. My traffic is almost zero because of this and no one cares! One thing that bothers me is: How is this even possible?! I thought that google was sandboxing sites who had copied content, and penalize them! Instead, I got MY WEBSITE penalized, which is 4 years old and his blog, with 30-40 posts published in a half an hour time is outranking me already the very same day he published it?! If these kind of manipulations can be done that easy and burry a website this easy than this means google's algorithm is a joke and relying on organic traffic for serious income is totally uncertain and unreliable! I'M LOSING TRAFFIC, MONEY AND NERVES! HOW SHOULD I PROCEED?!
Call blogger and explain your problem, thats probably the fastest solution. Email takes way to long time when you`r loosing money
