Hello,
lately one of my websites had an hit on his ranking and it droped by alot,

i checked the issue and saw that some of my pages content has been copied into 3 diffrent sites, the content is 100% mine (wayback machine can verfy it also).

I have noticed those sites before, but before when i searched the "content" on google i was the first results - and defined as the "original".

now as it seems - my website defined as the "copier" and droped in ranking becouse of that.
* again the contect is 100% unique and they copied it long after it was on my site.

any idies on the subject?

thanks,
Dan.

    The best you can do is better SEO.

    I'm sure someone will chime in saying do a DMCA on the scraper site/host but that's not going to do anything. It takes a few minutes to scrape a site and buy a cheap domain... repeat for every DMCA.

    No SEO does not work like that. You do not forever rank a page over others with the same or similar content just because it was the original. There are several factors in Google's algo and if the other site is beating you in enough of those other factors there's no guarantee you will continue to rank above it.

    Hello,
    thanks for the info.

    what i mean is that my 1000 words page got copied into another site - now what happend is it seems that the contect is now "belong" to the site that copied the text from me.

    so the question is how to get the ownership back? (exluding DMCA).

    btw as it look for now i got back to my rank (ranked 4 on a 3k search keyword), seems like 1 on my sub articles on that page was hurting me).

    but google still "show" the the "owner" on the contect is som1 who just copied it,
    and btw they are never ranked about me - the sites that copied my text are ranked around the top 100, when i droped i got booted from top 5 to rank 20.
