Hi, I have a few articles up on ezine, go articles, article alley etc. I have found a wordpress based website that has taken those articles and put them on their website without the link back to my page. Here is one page of what I mean: http://www.mig-welding.net/mig-welding-basics/http://www.mig-welding.net/mig-welding-basics/ And here is my article on ezine articles: http://ezinearticles.com/?Mig-Welding-Basics---Tack-Welding&id=1752586http://ezinearticles.com/?Mig-Welding-Basics---Tack-Welding&id=1752586 What can I do? I have had another person do similar stuff and I managed to get him to stop. But this person does not have a contact form or email, so how do I contact him? How can I stop him ripping my original work and using it on his site? Peter Australia
There are lot of blogs, who are basically distributing Article feeds of different article directories. I'm a regular writer on Goarticles and ArticleBase. I've faced similar situation numder of times. Probably you cannot stop them, infact you cannot take it legally. Because, you don't have the copyright on the article, which is posted on an article directory probably. Rather you can notify Ezine regarding the issue. Because, those blogs and sites are scrapping Ezine contents, which is illegal.
Here is what I did when this happened to me: 1. Contact the webmaster via email, thank them for using your articles and list the urls of the offending pages. 2. Next, kindly ask them to place a link to your site at the bottom of each of your articles that they used. 3. You can find the offending webmasters name at this link hxxp://whois.domaintools.com/mig-welding.net This will at least let them know you are keeping a watch on your articles. You might even gain a few backlinks in the process Hope this helps. Steve
Peter, please post up what you hear back if you would. I get the same thing and would be interested to know
