Sick and Tired of Google Ads!!

    I am so @$# of all the sites that scrapes content from my sites to use on Google Ad sites, i.e they have nothing but Google Ads and stolen content from other sites just to make some bucks!!
    Reporting these sites to Google is of no use and just waste of your time since nothing happens at all. I have reported several sites and you know what??????? The only thing that have happened is that MY SITES IS GONE FROM THEIR INDEX so all you guys, you better beware when you report someone and hope the .... that your own site is cleaner than anything else on the Internet because if you stick your chin out, the only thing that'll happen is that YOUR SITE WILL BE GONE IN A MINUTE!!! so from now on Google can try to find all sites that violates ther guidelines themselves!!
    :mad: :confused: :eek:

    1. You can either whois their DNS Server.. or Troute them back to their host. When u know whois their host from there you can email the Host itself. Issue cease and decease something like that.

    2. I think when people get your article that is the best way for you to market your site dont you think? sharing is ok. in my humble opinion

    Sure...if they link back to your site it might help a little bit..
    When they just take it, it doesn't help at all..

    Do you have a copyright notice on your site and can you prove yours in the original content? If you can (and ONLY if you can) then you have grounds to issue legal proceedings

    It is almost absurd to think that Google de-indexed you for reporting a violation - I think you will find it is an unhappy coincidence. Unless they think YOU are the copyist and if that is the case you maybe should pursue the point wiuth them. if you are nice and polite and friendly the google help team will be the same back.

    for not getting back sooner.... it's all this "day job" crap :)
    The thiefs I am talking about are the ones that have SE result for certain keywords they target and/or grab things fro your web site and hide it on their page somewhere where the bots pick it up and displays in the search result.
    I am talking about all these weird domain names with thousands of subdomains with just numbers which seems to be generated by some program and have sneaky redirects to what it looks like search results from their site.
    Someone mentioned contextual but isn't it more a site thing? Nobody will ever click on anything o the site but if you have thousands of pages then you might get some money from site targeting??
    These sites never link back and if there is any linking done at and not just the text then there is a rel=nofollow so it doesn't make me any good and I am not sure if you get penalized if your domain shows up in bad neighbohoods like these sites.
    I have emailed several of the sites and asked them to remove my information but never get any answers and I have emailed their hosts buy they don't care as long as their customer pays them.
    Copyright? is a domain name copyrighted? Can they just take the domain.com and put it on their site or in their meta tags?
    I know it sounds weird that when you report sites then your own site will be gone but who knows what happened. Coincidence?? Maybe.
    Here's one search you guys can do in Google:
    site:twokwdzerosevenoneDOTinfo .... just replace the typed numbers with real numbers and leave the kwd in there... kinda like a game, huh?
    Anyway, this one ONLY has about 17,000 pages but you can exchange the first two with a 1 and you get more pages and all of them has a stolen domain name and information....
    if this is the way Google is going to work in the future then I probably have to stay away from Google so I am not in a bad neighborhood anymore and get booted off of Google just because of that:eek:

    1. install bad-behaviour:
    http://www.ioerror.us/software/bad-behavior/
    2. check your logs and configure it appropriately
    3. block IPs of the bots/sites inf your .htaccess file
    4. if you hold the copyright to your content, read this:
    http://www.google.com/dmca.html
    5. you might want to ask in legal forum about your problem
    Good luck!

    why don't you just advertise on google search page and choose the sites to advertise from your control panel?

    To read it?

    As I understand it, his problem is that his site is being scraped, content stolen by sites cashing in on adsense. So, no, that's not a solution. He needs to block them from stealing the content.

    You can install scripts in the code that disables the right click button, but of course there are still some ways around this, but it will stop some of those that do not know how to get around it.

    It will help to some degree for people who are stealing content by manually copying it. But there are big scraper sites who use RSS feeds to grab your content and then put it on their site automatically. Best to do is block their IP.

    By the way I myself is victim of such theft where my RSS feeds are used to put my content on their site without link back or any credit.

    you could try purposefully clicking on the links multiple times at said site in an attempt to have their adsence count revoked

    You guys think you've got it bad? An OFF LINE MAGAZINE once stole a ton of my reviews -- and not just mine, but from a dozen other sites as well -- and printed it in their magazine as their own. I didn't even know about it until one guy, whose site operates in the same niche industry, alerted me because he caught the magazine stoling his content. The guy was smart, and started looking for more thefts, and found mine. (The last time I check, he was gathering up information and contacting the other webmasters for a lawsuit.) Can you believe that crap? And we're not even talking about some mom and pop operation, we're talking about an established industry leader.

    Trust me, if someone wants to take your content, they'll do it. This is the Internet; trying to police it is a waste of your time. Don't lose too much sleep on it, and just accept it as a cost of doing business online, and move on. After all, hasn't everyone here, at one time or another, took something from someone's site without properly crediting it (a photo, an image, a piece of an article) for whatever reason? I'm just saying. It's all a matter of degrees, isn't it?
