    I was searching for a query in google "search engine optimizer india" and than i came across this at the end of search results..

    In response to a complaint we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint that caused the removal(s) at ChillingEffects dot org


    I have never seen anything like this before...

    Hmm...it looks to me like perhaps that page was violating a copyright, so the owner of the copy right notified Google and the removed the page from the index.

    They don't really say...

    We reported and followed through with a copyright infringement against our site. After google looked at it, they removed the offending page from the index and placed the same message at the bottom of the SERP. It basically means that for that search phrase, they removed a copyright violating site from their index.

    Wow. That's encouraging news for folks who create original content and have it ripped off.

    Yeah its alright that google has been doing this for years but i donnt think that it use to display information like this at the botom of query page, however google are doing a lot of experiments and changes these days and this is good that if they remeove a result from SERP they also tell why was it done so that somebody else wonnt make the same mistake.

    Regarding content duplication, google can catch it only through personal complaints but else than that i donnt think there is any way to caught content duplication.

    Google might have removed the page from SERP, but that site still maintains a PR of 6. Hows that?

    How did you prove to Google that the content was originally yours?

    Yeh thats what even i donnt understand. How can google determine when somebody claim that the text originally belongs to him. Although i am not saying that your content wasnt original but i just wanna know the theory on which google determine that yes this content belongs to this person only. I mean this is absolutely impossible to determine. Each and every site has almost 70% of content taken from other sites, if somebody claims the same it means all others will be penalized. Very confusing stuff here.

    I knew it was mine originally because I wrote it, but as far as actually proving it, I showed it to them on my site, and then I referred to it on my site in the internet archives site. They could look at when the page was first made on my site, and how it progressed month to month. The copied version was of the version about 9 months after the page first went up.

    There are many ways to show.
    most effective way is your copyright notification. just show them that you had it copyright on so and so date.
    another way is to show them on what date you had it online. if it is yours originaly and other party had copied it then your date must be older.

    Is there any way to accurately determine on what date any particular piece of content went online? I dont think so.

    If some content on site A gets indexed before it does on Site B..doesnt mean it's originally belongs to A.

    Still friend it is almost impossible to prove that content written by one is the original. I donnt know how google determine that but it will be very helpful if google announces the same. Moreover considering the amount of websites been made these days there will be some amount of content copy or inspiration from the content in some other site, you cannt stop that. I wonder whether google penalizes for copying the content as it is or even same type of content written in different language.
