plagarizm sucks!

That happens a lot. It's a jungle out there!

At least things were straightened out

It hasn't happened to me, but I know several people who were affected by it. It's a good thing you took action!

Happens all the time, seems like copy writing your stuff online means nothing in this day and age.

Take it as a compliment. It means you were doing something right and people are now trying to leech off you. Obviously, they were not smart enough to re-write the article but you'll always encounter competition. It's just natural by-product of any competitive market.

Hi...

My guess is that if you do any kind of article marketing (especially if you are posting to EZA), then there's about 100% chance that someone will plagarize you.

It sucks, yes. But it happens to all of us. It's part of playing the article marketing game.

The worst thing to do is to spend too much time and energy trying to "fight" the plagarizers. Because even if you are able to stop one instance (which it sounds like you have), there's definitely going to be more.

Whenever I find someone mis-using my content, I send them a very professional but serious email letting them know that I would appreciate them using my links and let them know of the possible consequnces of not given me credit for my content. It's helpful to look up the whois info on their site and include some of these details in your email.

But if I did this with every article that I have published (and I hundreds of articles on EZA alone), it would be a fulltime job trying to fight these guys.

I find it's better to take that same energy and focus on building backlinks, then fighting a battle that I will never win.

Much Success,

Here's a quick positive thought for you.

Why don't you create a PLR article pack of 10-15 articles in your niche and sell them.

"No need to steal my content when my article pack is at a steal of a price"

The copy then writes itself.
