Why is a blogspot copy / paste favored over the original?!

    Greetings all,

    About 2 weeks ago I made an article called 16 fat loss lessons. It got some decent attention, especially from stumbleupon, which still send me 2K visitors to the article today.

    Yet,... on may 9th some blogspot copy / paste blog republished my article and took me off the SERPS! Where I used to rank #1 for "fat loss lessons" from the day I published the article, I now am nowhere in sight. Yet this rip off ranks 4th or something, right after all my social media submission links I did.

    This is like the second time some copy paste blog stole my hard worked content and beat me to the google index... This is just so frustrating. I friendly asked the owner to remove it. Previously, with another article I wrote, I did the same and got a negative response.

    original: http://www.prohealthblog.com/fat-loss/16-fat-loss-lessons.html
    copy: http://yayyuh.blogspot.com/2008/05/16-straight-to-point-fat-loss-lessons.html

    Atleast this guy does not claim to have written the article himself... :rolleyes:

    Things like this happen everytime.
    I still don't know how to protect articles from being copied.

    I'm not an expert but maybe you could gets and seo pro to look at your site and make sure everything is ok - if someone is copy/pasting your work and beating you to google - it seems like there is something else wrong.
