I noticed some SERP traffic landing on my pages from another sites domain name, I did a Google search, I'm ranked #2 for a domain I've never heard of.

I started browsing the site & found some of my content/files. I clicked the Adsense logo/text on one of their Adsense ads & filled out the Adsense TOS violation form.

Good luck keeping that Adsense account.

      Lol, no he's not out ranking me for anything other than his domain name.

      Example: warrior forum

      I found his site because I was getting his SERP traffic where I'm somehow ranked #2 for his domain name (ex: warrior forum).

      My content that the guy has stolen is a zip file that includes proprietary niche files that I personally made. I don't do articles If that's what your thinking.

    Can you post the domain or PM. I hate it when this happens. I will report them as well. Sometimes it takes more than a few reports to get Adsense's attention on this.

    What about DMCA as well?

      Thanks but I'm not revealing the niche I'm in.

      If Adsense doesn't do anything within a few days I'll login to my own Google account & file another complaint so they can see it's legit.

        I would like to see what happens. Adsense banned my site because someone copied my article.

    Yukon,

    Please post back who finally takes these people down. About 3 years ago I had someone who had copied one of my income producing pages and pasted the entire page into a blogger blog. I think that I found it because the images were hotlinked to my hosting.

    I filed a DMCA report thru Blogger and within 10 hours the blogger blog was shut down completely.

    A couple of years before that someone emailed me to inform me that another website had copied my web pages onto their site and the person who reported it to me was very helpful in resources and suggestions to get my content removed. His initial suggestion was the only one I had to act upon which was simply contacting the hosting service of the offending site and reporting them and telling the hosting that if they did not remove the site within 48 hours they would be named in any DMCA report.

    The site was shut down within 24 hours.

    So far I've found 3 pages with my content on this one domain. It's a big site but it looks like all the guy is doing is scraping a bunch of other sites.
