    Hey guys

    Hello,
    Im not sure if I am posting in the right place. I just decided to google some text from my homepage (techguywebsolutions.com) and it seems that up to 7 other web design companies have just ripped their content right off my site. Some of them actually mimic my ENTIRE site and business. I have tried to report some of them to Google but had no success. Does anyone know what I should do and will this affect my SEO? Should I change my content?

    check it out. It is amazing how much these people copied from my site...

    my site
    http://www.techguywebsolutions.com

    One of the sites using my content
    http://www.realizewebdesign.com


    THanks,
    Brad

    Submit to: google.com/webmasters/tools/spamreportform
    and email a cease and desist letter to the sites webmaster or contact. Good luck!:D

    Your site is still WAY better. There's no easy way to fight spammers or people who can steal your content. Just like the person above suggested try reporting them to Google through that link.

    Contact their hosting with a complaint, that usually works if it is a US based host
