Hello Guys, i need your advice. I own this blog: http://www.africapoint.net where i post travel content on Africa I noticed this site http://www.selectedtour.com/?cat=2 is copying my website content word for word and posting to his blog. He's also hot linking to my images. But all the text links are pointing back to my site to read more information about the blog entry. I suspect he/she is using a script to feed his the on autopilot or something Is there a danger of my site being penalized of duplicate content or what other dangers might by site suffer?
Well, I wouldn't be happy with this. Contact the site owner and ask him : 1) Not to copy full posts. 2) Not to hotlink to your pics. I think you can allow him to use excerpts, but only if they link to your original post on your site. If he doesn't want to cooperate, replace the images he's linking to with "I AM A THIEF" pictures I used to do it with people who were stealing my content on eBay ages ago Very efficient. Don't forget to change links on your site =)
Email him up once or twice. If he doesn't listen, contact his web host They will definitely help you out. If its going out of order, then use the DMCA Regards, ~KMKM
