These days Copying Articles or Images or any other stuffs related to Blogging is Going higher day by day because nobody wants to Write articles or want to click some images, they just want to copy stuffs from popular blogs because they want to save their time and also wants to earn money….
In this post I’m going to discuss several aspects related to blog content copying.
Will your blog will have any impact if someone copies your content?
Yes definitely, you are being put into the risk of losing your search engine rankings and page rank when people copy your blog content. In many cases, copied content from your blog will first get indexed into Google and in those cases your content becomes duplicate. So Google may lower your blog rankings or may even not include your content into its index. So you are not getting the credit for all the hard work you put in writing those valuable contents that are stolen by content thieves. This way your SEO is badly impacted.
What to Do To Prevent this :-
Find them:
But your First Question would be How to find if someone is copying your blog content?
If So then here Is your answer:-
To find out if someone is copying content from your blog posts, copy one sentence or few words from any of your post and search it on Google with double quotes in place around that. Repeat this process 3-4 times for each of your latest 8-10 posts. And in case you see more than one results about from your own website, go through those results and see how they have copied your content, is it some part or copied all of your blog posts and also don’t forget to check whether they have given any credit to you for that content or not. When you run this process regularly, you may find some websites that have copied content from your blog quite often especially if you have a popular blog.
Now What to Do if you found some people copying your blog contents?
Here is something that can be done:-
CopyScape Banner: Place a CopyScape Banner on your blog to give a warning message to people who want to steal your content.
Contact Details: And in case you saw a website copying your blog content, you have to look for ways to contact the website owner. Please check the website home page and other important pages like About US, Contact Us, Author Page, Contact form etc from where you can actually interact with the person behind that website. And in case, you don’t get any contact information on that website pages, you can try using Whois and Alexa records to get contact details about that website.
Once you have the contact details about that website owner, then these steps you can take to stop people from copying your blog content:
Send Polite e-mail: First step that you can take is sending a polite email to the website owner informing that he had copied content from my website. Copying content is illegal and asks him to remove your copyrighted work. Wait for a response from website owner for the next 5-6 business days.
Cease and Desist Notice: If nothing happens with your polite email, you can think of sending Cease and Desist (Also known as C&D) notice to the website owner.
DMCA Letter to webhost: Another thing that you can do is send a DMCA letter to the webhost of that website. As per law, webhosts are supposed to take strict actions against websites that copies copyrighted work from other websites.
DMCA letter to Google Adsense: If the website that had copied content from your website is using Google Adsense can send a DMCA letter to Google Adsense. This is one of strong actions that you can take where the website owner can actually get banned from Google Adsense. In that case, all of his revenue coming through Google Adsense will be gone.
DMCA letter to others: Apart from Google Adsense, you can send DMCA letters to other services from where this website is generating business
Legal actions: If nothing works, you can think of filing a lawsuit.
I’m sure these tips will be very useful for many people who are facing issue from copy content thieves. What action will you take to prevent those copy content spammers, Please Share with us via Commenting under this Post?

When I was hurt in that motorcar accident my life would be changed forever. Sadly that driver had no car insurance and I was going to be hurting for ever.
This was not time for me to start and guess what to do. I had to find a good personal injury lawyer to help me get what I needed. After all, my family was counting on me.
How dreadful was it? I has bedridden for 6 months, I had to have constant care and my medical bills went through the roof!
Fortunately, I found a good referral site to help me.
I will post more later this week to tell you more about what I have been going through.

Nice post! I always use copyscape to make sure my articles aren’t nabbed, but I’m never really sure what I’d do if I actually had an article stolen. This should come in handy.
