Stolen content, how to prevent plagiarism ?

Hello dp members,

recently i discovered that my articles are getting stolen from my blog.
My article on 'how not to lose traffic from your site' was recently stolen and published by another person on this blog, unfortunately i had few links to my other articles within the article so it created a ping back and i found about it.

This has put me in a serious thinking, if this guy stole one of my well written articles then am sure their might many others doing the same, how can i prevent my content from getting stolen or what actions to take if i find some other site using my content without my permission and trying to re brand my articles?

any help would be appreciated, i can't let others just steal away my hard work

 

This site is good at finding sites that have stolen your conent http://www.copyscape.com/

 

i already know about copyscape, but my question is, is their a way to protect my articles form getting stolen?

 

I don't think there is a way to protect your articles. Just know that it is your article and be proud ;-)! I have a photoshop tutorial website (http://phonuts.org/) and there are websites using my designs, blogs copying my articles and recently someone told me a company in the UK was using a design of mine on their flyers.

Regards!

 

i don't think there is a way to prevent your articles from being stolen. It can be easily stolen by copy pasting your content to other blog. But keep in mind that people will know that you have authorization of respected content...

 

you disable right click and selection in your blog.

 

I think contacting the webhost is the best solution for me, i can't disable rightclick its annoying and they can copy from page source anyways, thanks all for the tips

 

Do visit plagiarism.com site , that will help you to find duplicate content.

 

I am afraid, there is only cure in this problem and no prevention yet.

thanks!

 

I agreed this is the best way..

 

Try it ...... still your content can be copied. Right click disable doesn't work on old browsers

 

Stealing content of others will be punished under copy right act.SoYou may charge the blogger for it.I think palagiarism.com will help you to find your copied articles.

 

http://plagiarismtoday.com is another site to keep an eye on although they lean towards solutions within wordpress. blogging2thebank.com is hosted within godaddy space. Feel free to send them a DMCA. They usually pay attention to them.

The stealing site left their info in their whois if you feel like giving them a call:

Welcome to the world of creative entrepreneurship.

Embedd your links in the content so that it takes them a lot of time to edit your copy... and if they don't you get the free link backs.

Then quit worrying. People online are seldom creative and plagerism is rampant. I've had entire sites lifted and reposted in the past.

What you need to do is figure out how to make your content beneficial to your own projects when they take it. put your brand in it... write in links to your sites, cloak your links, etc.

Think of a pdf file with embedded links as your guide.

 

Hey guys thanks a lot all for the useful tips and comments, i finally got the guy to remove my stolen article and he has it no longer on his site

now i know how to defend my articles and punish content thefts.

 

Put copyright message, including link to your rss feed.

and come out better content
