If you have a published page on your website describing your privacy policy, term and conditions and articles policy then you can report the link to webmaster. If he does not remove the link then report to webhosting admin.
Don't worry about that, Google takes only the first crawled content into consideration. and If they're copying your content, they will be penalized, not you so chill Cheers!
Well, the question is, are these "stolen" or just syndicated? for example, does this article still contain a link to your website? if so, then don't worry about it, you've gotten a back link. if not, then as mentioned, you can do something but it doesn't much matter anyway
It used to be that the oldest link was seen as the original and always listed first in the SERPs. It's just not true anymore. I had an entire site scraped. It was over 5 years old. The new, fresher versions of my site are outranking the originals. "If you have a published page on your website describing your privacy policy, term and conditions and articles policy then you can report the link to webmaster." While it is always a good idea to have this, you don't need it to make a claim of copyright infringement. Look up DMCA notices and how to send one. My take has been that if I can find where you've stolen my content, other people are going to come to your site as well. Plus, I am sick to death of people stealing from me three ways - the original theft of the content + any revenue they earn that should be mine + lost positions in the SERPs.
Simply complain to Hosting provider and if its offshore hosting and they dont care about then file a DMCA, as well you can complain to Domain provider, even they have rights to cancel the domain registration. And yes in more than 50 instance i had out ranked original content so forget about it, even a copy content get ranked high in Google.
If they have Adsense on the site, file a DMCA with them and tell them that if they don't remove your content from their site, you're going to report them to Adsense. That usually does it, because Google acts on every DMCA notice it gets.
Of course, Google wants you to believe that. And, despite many sites being penalized with Panda, there are still instances where copied content ranks higher than original. For instance, once I published an article that was copied completely and reposted for some girl's post on Yahoo Answers. And, her post actually ranked higher for the keywords I was targeting and she knocked my page out of position. Of course, when I found out, I reported her post to Google and Yahoo Answers. But yeah the damage was done. Yahoo has some serious clout in Google search engine. So something on their site is likely to be more highly valued than something on another, even if it's a copy or stolen from somewhere else.
