Scrapers outranking my site

This is really annoying. When I search for my site (sitename.com) in Google, all the main results are scrapers. Admittedly they haven't stolen the whole article, and have given an excerpt with a link to my site. In fact the first proper link to my site is on page 6.

But, only a portion (maybe 25%) of my pages appear to be indexed. So search engine traffic on G is down 90%.

Is there anything I can do to reverse this? Maybe turn off the feed or something, as that is how they scrapers are getting the content.

    You may have just been out SEO'd. It happens all the time and you just need to be building backlinks more aggresively until you get back to the top.

    The thing is I was first page for almost 2 years until last week.

    It's incredible that loads of poor quality dominates the search results. I accept SEO comes into it, but what is the explanation, that 60 sites simultaneously on the same period have out-SEO'd me using scraped content as opposed to unique content? It just doesn't add up, and I thought Panda was about getting rid of scraped content.

      Perhaps these sites have simply tried to game google, got scraped content up and have done a huge xrumer blast to get their site ranked high. They'll get found out eventually and google will punish them big time.

    This will happen (usually) if your competition is aggressively generating backlinks and using a few shady methods. However, if you continue to build solid, high quality backlinks you should eventually outrank them. Chances are most of their links are pretty low quality and they've received a temporary bump from the sheer number of incoming links.

    If you continue to build better quality links the right way, you will eventually outrank them. From what I've seen from others over the years, their links will eventually die and they will stop backlinking all together... and that's when you take them over.
