Article republication ranking hire than my article.

I uploaded an article which ranks higher on a blog that has merely republished it.

It has republished it with a link back to the article but not the author box with links back to my website.

How can I bump this off the top spot with my article and my blog post?

    Get it taken down with some copyright violation warning email. sometime contacting the host gets more of a response.

    There have been some scary statistics on how much the Google panda revision effected article libraries like ezinearticles, making it easier for an unaffected site to outrank them.

    Did they leave your resource links in tact? Did they follow the article directories TOS?

    Google does not automatically rank the original copy the highest.

    It ranks the copy on the site that the algorithm trusts the most.

    Did you link back to the original in the resource box when you submitted it? Google recommends this.

      It was an ezinearticles article. It had links directing to my blog in the author box. I thought if you republished you had to publish the article with the resource box.

      I didn't put a link back to the article in the resource box, but there is a link back to the article in the republication. I don't know if this was something automatically done by them or by ezinearticles.

        You could contact them, definitely, but I would work to get some links to your own article. While the resource box links should have been in tact, it looks like google may "trust" their domain more.

        The flip side to this is, however, that you have your article on a site that google felt was best to display the content...but it links back to YOUR article, which then has a link to your website - could be some link juice flowing around there maybe. I'm not taking the duplicate content issue into consideration in what I am saying.

        But perhaps contacting the blog owner, and informing him that you do need the resource box left on the article, is something you should do.

          I can't find anyway to contact the webhost. No whois info or contact details on the website.

          I tried sending some emails to "generic term" @ domain.com but don't know if any will reach them.

          Thanks for the advice though

    You do have to publish the links in the resource box. They they probably broke the TOS.

    However, if there is a link back to the original article on your site, then I wouldn't worry about it.

    Eventually, you should out rank it.

    If you want to accelerate the process, build a few more links to your article.

    If you want, come comment on my blog and link to it via a comment in the "Your name @ Your keywords" field. There are some inner pages that are PR2's if you can find them.

    Just don't get crazy with the links or you can get slapped. Think slow, quality, deep-links.

    We'll knock him form that top spot...lets make this a little experiment...

      While the odds are that they deliberately tanked the resource box, it's not totally open and shut.

      EZA can be a bit confusing for some people. They actually require two links in the TOS and guidelines. The first is the resource box. The second is a link back to EZA as the article syndication source.

      Some people catch the EZA link requirement and miss the RB when copying the article. This seems like it might be the case here.

      You have a choice...

      > Try to get the article taken down, which isn't particularly difficult most of the time.

      > Drop the blogger a note telling him he missed part of the article when he republished it, and give him the bit he missed. Don't start out getting nasty and making accusations; it might be an innocent mistake. Give the blogger a chance to make good, for the benefit of both of you.

    I'm pretty sure they need to copy the author box as well, so you can probably push for it to be taken down. Try contacting their host.
