How to communicate to Content Stealers who have authoritative websites?

by Chris Lengley

I have posted some articles of my blog on EZA. I used that 'punctuation trick' on EZA for finding the syndication partners for active syndication.

Now the problem is, I have just come to know that there are some authoritative websites who have picked my articles from EZA but didn't include the resource box. Now, I am not getting what to do.

Because, I am feeling that if I'll force them to remove my article, or add author bio box, then it will become tough to add them in my active syndication list.

What should I say? I don't want to lose them too.

Apart from this, there are some blogs too who have posted my articles and I can see that there are many fb likes and tweets etc. on my articles, but those blogs don't have 'Contact' option.

How can I contact with those blog owners? And, what should I do?

(Sorry, English is not my first language. First I write articles in my own language and then take the help of translator. I hope I have explained my question well)

    Why would you want someone in your syndication list who steals your content without giving attribution back? I'd contact them and tell them to remove the article or put the resource box in. If they didn't do it, I'd file a DMCA with their host.

    Suzanne is right, you have nothing to gain from partnering with a thief. As far as contacting them info@, admin@, and support@ are usually good emails to try.

    First, I would try to contact them via email asking for their cooperation.

    If that didn't work, then you do a URL whois and contact their host.

      I would never want to partner with someone that stole content from me. I have had this happen before and it's not fun. The Internet is a very large place and I'm sure this happens all the time.

    Even if they have authoritative websites, it does not give them the excuse to use your content without proper attribution. Try sending a formal letter to raise the issue and if all else fails, file a DMCA as what sbucciarel suggested.
