Someone stole my Free Lunch article. What can I do to take it off? Should I even bother? What can you do to prevent this from happening way too often? Original article: http://www.asenski.com/archives/10 Copycat: http:// makealotmoneyonline . wordpress . com/ My page is not even indexed in google so it's not an automated search. He did however copy my referral codes...
You could try contacting the website owner and ask them to take it off. Currently they are pr 0 and not cached by Google so it shouldn't have much effect on you.
Yeap - send them a cease and desist email which normally does the trick. You can find a template for one at: http://www.utsystem.edu/OGC/INTELLECTUALPROPERTY/contract/cease.htm
If the people stealing your article have not a domain name their chances to succeed are minimal. Contact wordpress.com explaining the issue and they will probably warn the user or delete such account.
