If you have ever sit you ass down to create content for days, you would understand how painful it is for your content to spread across the web without your permission.
In the world of blogging, there are bloggers and as well “copy bloggers “. Bloggers will spend hours to write posts that add value while copy bloggers spend seconds to copy the posts.
Since I started solutionfans.com I noticed many webmasters always copy my post and I am going to spend my money to deal with those who always copy my content.
They will just wait for you to create content while they copy. They most painful part is that some even outranked original owners of the post in Search engines.
The good news is that you can shut down any website copying your posts from existence. There are many ways to report stolen content; however I will list three of them and fully explain the one you should try first.
I would advice you report them only when they copy more than three posts word-for-word from your website .
I have three pains:
Copying more than 10 posts word for word from one blog
Removing the internal and external links that makes the post user friendly.
Taking full credit for the post.
More than 9 websites have copied at least 5 of my content. I am about to begin take down…. If you know you have copied more than three of my content, you are warned to remove them all within a week of this post or face DMCA Takedown
Ways To Report Content Theft
1. DMCA Take Down
2. Hosting Take Down
3. Google Webmaster Copyright Removal Notice.
The first two method can take down the person’s blog. The person you reported would lose traffic and have to start over. This is the next step I would take and any stupid blogger is still found wanting.
