Hey guys im having an over 60% sucess rate on getting my articles on ezinearticles.com published but im seeing quite a few publishers who will publish my articles on their sites or blogs who have stripped the hyperlink and also the linkback to ezinearticles.com article.
What can I do to prevent this in the future?
Do i email the sites owners or their webhost and tell them that these publishers are doing this?

You can do nothing, because you cannot stop people from content theft.

My solution is to think out of the box and establish the new level of contact with the people who republish your content.

Surely it is pointless to make friends with all owners of web sites in your niche, but we there are communities that already did that for you.

You submit articles, they don't touch your backlinks, and as a result of this job you get backlinks from inside real blog posts on relevant sites, for free. Kind of a level up to traditional article marketing.

Of course you should email the publisher to mention your link, don't just do nothing, but take an action to protect yours

move on and concentrate on something you can control. If you get obsessed with this it will eat up all your constructive time.

  Well I've seen this done to myself as well. You can always email the website owner or blog owner letting him know they need to publish it the way it was written unchanged. Sometimes they will go ahead and do it and problem fixed. Other then that like captivereef said don't let it eat yourself up. The time you waste being mad about it, think of how much you could of accomplished in the meantime. Think of the results you could of got. Make an attempt to fix it but don't waste valuable time, think of the money you could have made on wasted time and work lost.
  
  Happy Holidays to all!
  
  Thanks

  Exactly, thumbs up.
  
  I remember someone was stealing my article from EzineArticles and published it on the subdomain blog of blogspot.com
  
  I sent the message to the blog owner - no reply. I send the message to Google (because blogspot.com is their business)- no reply. I sent the email to EzineArticles - they said something like "you can do nothing about it, but if you want to stop this you can stop sending us articles".
  
  I was very irritated to get this kind of answer, but after the emotions faded away I understood that EzineArticles really could do NOTHING about it - they do not have direct access to the people who republish this content.
  
  That is why I think the way out is to join the communities where republishers agree not to touch your backlinks. They get content, you get backlinks, if someone cheats - they get kicked out of the community (and they really do not want this to happen because they will lose lots of backlinks from inside real blog posts).
  
  The time has come to new standards of cooperation between content creators and content republishers. And when market needs something, this gets done.
  
  Thanks

I think you will find some very helpful information in this article to help you with this problem. Good luck!

(Because I have fewer than 15 posts I'm not allowed to link to other sites. So you'll have to copy and paste the Url below.)

  I know the temptation to "do something about it" is strong.
  
  As others have said you can end up spending a great deal of time chasing down those who use your content outside the scope of your permissions.
  
  I will still contact a website owner every so often and tell them to remove my content. I don't ever ask them to modify the content to include a link because I have no interest in continually policing their use of my content on their website.
  
  I've had good success just sending them an email telling them to remove my content.
  
  I only do this once in a blue moon and usually to a website owner that has intentionally removed my entire resource box.
  
  All The Best,
  
  Tony
  
  Thanks

Yah, this is why I stopped using most article marketing strategies. I still do it, but now via several blogs instead of the major directories. I would keep seeing my articles stripped of any credit or backlinks and instead see a bunch of porn or cialis links. However, that is part of the bargain with these directories, so you either have to be ok with it or just move on.

i have over 425 articles published and the traffic i get from other sites is less then 1%. Most all of it comes right from the directory itself so even if the backlinks get striped out you are not losing much traffic, and the back links are probably not worth much from a site that would strip them out anyways!

  I agree with you, at least send em a 'you know that's my copyrighted material there dontcha buddy?'
  email and let it go.
  
  You might just embarrass a newbie who doesn't know how to do a Google alert, and was sure he is so minuscule no one would notice.
  
  of course if the thief is an a**hole, it's not worth going after him, we've got better things to do with our time,
  
  offense is better than defense

  That's a good approach I think. A premade email costs only seconds to send, if the recipient adds the links again, great, if not rather put your effort elsewhere since it's simply not worth the time to go after every "thief".
  
  Thanks

  I had this happen a few weeks ago. I sent the site owner an email and when I didn't hear back from him in 5 days I contacted his web host and had his site shut down.
  
  It probably took all of 5 minutes per email to get this resolved.

To me I would jsut report it to EZ and then move as many of these people or site owners will do it time again and you will jsut be frudtrated.

Just my 2 cents
