Content Thief - This Fool Thinks He Got Away With It
Well, that is until today. Now I KNOW how some of you feel who've had your site content ripped off.
I was sitting here doing some casual keyword research using stats from one of my niche sites - this site is in the diet niche. I have several well written reviews on their for specific clickbank books, and it regularly converts sales.
Okay, so I do what I normally do, paste the keyword phrase into google, then look at the results and competition.
I happened to notice an article on go articles that had some familiar content. I clicked on the article and - ah! I saw my site content copied word for word. Not only that, but when I clicked onto the url in the article, that led to a blog that also contained my exact content.
I was pissed!
It's one thing to steal an article - I can always write more. But steal my site content - Oh no you didn't.
So I easily found his whois info and have sent him a stern message to take down my content now. I also cc'd his registrar, go articles, wordpress.org and clickbank.
Okay, then I find that someone (not sure if it's the same guy because they use an alias) has been busy stealing 8 pages of my content (same review site) and creating press releases with it. Found all of them on prlog. Luckily prlog has an abuse link where people can be reported for this kind of theft.
Man!
I've been really busy for the past 2 hours taking care of these thieves. I'll teach them to mess with me. I'm usually a nice person, but DON'T EVER STEAL MY SITE CONTENT!
ARRRGGHHHH!
ahhhhh, thanks for letting me vent here.
