What do you guys do when you see someone copying your EZA article word-for-word and publishing it at other sites like AB? The only thing they change are the links at the bottom. I'm not into article marketing too much as I focus more on PPC. But when I checked a keyword for one of my high CTR articles, I saw some b**** named "Richardson" (http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/richardson/368123) copied one of my articles and ranks 1 above me. Haha.. Makes me wonder how many others he has copied.
Yes, you get this alot I'm afraid, however you can contact Article Base and it is a good job too - you need to try and put them off doing this!
Just send a message to AB support with the link to a couple of your articles that are exact matches to the offender. If you request it, they will actually put the articles under your account if you have an account with them. I've had it done to me many times over.
I think you can also contact clickbank perhaps and at least flag a warning against his account and perhaps if he keeps it up hell get banned.. possibly?
I had the same problem before. Here is my thread (which includes how I got the situation resolved pretty quickly)... http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1310078
Yeah, this happened to me twice already, and actually I was impressed with how quickly articlesbase handled the issue - less than 24 hours from the moment I contacted them, the copycat's account had been terminated! Don't put it off anymore, just submit a complaint and it'll be taken care of. Cheers, P.
At least that stupid guy uploads on AB. if he does the same elsewhere, you may find it hard to take down the website. Quite surprised to see that stupid guy doesn't even spin the article or rewrite the article. If he has done so, it's not easy to terminate his account.
