Same news was posted on some other site without any edits..He is getting my traffic from google ...What i think whenever my feed is sent ..the topic is automatically published on his blog.. ANy suggestion what to do ..You can check it yourself..Gud suggestions plz..

With blogging and the availability of rss feeds, you basically have to accept that your content may be copied onto other sites. A lot of the time there isn't much you can do about it. In this case, you may still want to report the issue to Google through Google Webmaster Tools. In the meantime you should take advantage of this situation and include more internal links in your posts. That way, he will end up helping your own blog's rankings.

You may also want to work at building more quality backlinks so that you can easily outrank the counterfeit blog.

 

what about if someone copies your article from goarticles and does not put your link in the copied article?

 

you can contact that person or blogger , to either remove your content or put your link in that.

 

Yea contact the person, and tell them if they dont remove it you will ummmmm do something

There is a really cool trick to gain a link at least when people are stealing your content. It is a javascript app that i dont remember the link to offhand....

 

Well actually it is not allowed to copy rss feeds.. But what can you do - send him to court?
Try to email him saying you dont want stuff to be stolen.
There is also another neat trick
1. Check times when he publishes your articles - its probably with cron job [really i dont have time to check both the links]
2. 5 minutes before his post simply write something vulgar on your site so that he fetches it
3. refresh his site till you see it visible
4. delate from your site
5. repeat

 

How old is your domain?

Same thing happened to me. Unknown guy copied whole content from me and pasted in his site. When i mailed him, he replied that he copied from another blog from where he taken permission. Actually he created a blog where he pasted whole my content.
In this situation i dont have idea on how to tackle these guys. I haven't taken any -ive steps on copycats.
With in a week google deindex all posts who copied from my sites. Again i reached to my old ranking position.

Google is not a simple algorithm to give higher ranking position for duplicate content. But it takes time to eliminate those articles..
If you still have doubt then ask yourself that why ezine tops for most of the keywords but not other article directories..

 

There's seemingly not a lot that you can do, but Google will deindex the posts, and so eventually you will retain your old rank position.

 

That is a very good idea! lool

 

If you felt that it's totally annoying, you can issue a DCMA complaint.

 

I do not mind people using content from my rss feed from my blog because my rss feed is show as a excerpt so only a few lines from each of my posts show up on other peoples blogs. This gives me a good backlink!

 

well i wanted to know if i have enabled my feed ..whether i can take any action or dcma complaint who just direct copied my articles

 

this is what his site shows.

I would contact site frost and let them know about the issue

 

Is he crediting to your blog ? Even if person is crediting to your blog but you don't want it on his/her blog then just email the person to remove the content. There is nothing much you can do about it if you don't hold copyrights to your content. Or what about joint venture. (give it a try)

try contact the webhost of the copycat site

 

its better to contact him or leave a comment there to see if he replies.

 

u cant do nothing, just double your seo efforts

 

Well the guy has even better domain so he outranks you..

 

Why not put your name and website any info about you on your article, so that if he blindly copies your article, credit will go to you.
