Most of these sites are blog sites... with no contact page... we allow anyone to republish are articles so long as they include the copyright and resource box... and would you believe how many people... will just steal your articles and not even include these two things? Well... is there a way I can get these pages removed if they have no contact page? Thanks.
If there's absolutely no way of contacting the webmaster and if you can prove the content is originally yours, you should directly approach the hosting provider of the site in question. Normally, they will contact the webmaster and have him remove the content. If he doesn't, they'll suspend his hosting account, taking his website down. Cheers
Yea, thanks guys... I'm already doing this... seems like most host providers have an 'abuse' feature where you can report things like this... thanks again!
And if their Whois information is private, at least report the pages to the major search engines, and try to get those de-indexed. And if they're using Adsense, report it to Google, and they can ban the account (they'll know who to contact from the Adsense ID).
Thanks for this suggestion; I have people rip off my stuff left and right, but it never occurred to me to have them de-indexed!
