Hi guys,
My name's John. Im new here Im 36 based in Brisbane, Australia -- Been running my internet businesses now full time since 2004, however just moved towards Internet Marketing last October.

My question is that I have a potential affiliate marketer of my clickbank product who has basically "copied" my sales page (literally) onto his own site in an effort to generate sales.

Should I be concerned of a Google duplicate penalty? How is this situation best addressed? Am I over reacting?

Thanks!

    I always thought that a duplicate content penalty is issued when you put duplicate content on your own domains.

    This affiliate could be using a script called Affiliate Prophet which fetches the main page and displays it on any domain with the affiliate ID embedded within.

    I would not worry about a duplicate content penalty though because your page must have been indexed first. Because your page contained this info first, you cannot be the duplicate.

    If you are really worried, you can ask that the page be pulled or try to get a direct answer about this from G.

    This has happened to several of my sales-
    pages. I still rank higher than my affiliates,
    and generate the higher number of sales.
    I'm considering offering unique salespages
    to those affiliates who actually generate
    sales. I have the technology in house to
    handle this idea automatically.
