    it may, but it shouldn't because your content was first, and if its established well, you may even not notice that, but still I would let google know about this

      Google timestamps the content. If your site was indexed first, do not worry. Google uses content filter to put less significance on the duplicate content which comes after yours.

      If all the duplicate content in the world are penalized as some SEO people have you believe, then all the press release syndication services should be blacklisted. It is not the case.

    well, I would say if you site content is stolen by some other person then I don't think it is going to effect you if your content is indexed in the first place by the Google. But if opposite happens i.e content of the (cheater someone) website gets indexed before yours than you'll be in hell lot of trouble. One more thing did you have DMCA protection on your page ??? If yes then I would say launch a take down request because in this case either your page is crawled first of second you are the owner of the content not that ..... otherwise I think you need to change your content.

    Contact Google with a DMCA Notice on the website. Otherwise threaten them with one, or you'll sue. I'd be sending an email to the owner right now.

      About a year ago my website was indexed by Google for about 3 months. A friend just had a website made for him and he told the guy making it to make it very similar to mine as far as layout and the way the content was going to be. The guy ended up copying and pasting my content word for word.

      By the time I found out, Google already indexed his website. The problem was when I searched for my content (for example, a sentence inside of quotes) his website came up first! You didn't even see my website unless you clicked the link that said "click here to see similar results".

      So just having your content up first is NOT good enough.

    As long as your website content was indexed first, then you will have no problem with rankings, as Google can detect that the other site has "duplicate content" and will place it in the supplemental index automatically. However, since your content is being used without your permission, I suggest submitting a DMCA Notice.

    All of the people telling you that since yours was indexed first that you will be okay are dead wrong and obviously have no idea how content-based negative SEO works...

    It has nothing to do with specific-content-age and everything to do with domain-factors, such as PR among others.

      "Stolen" is a pretty loose term used for internet content.

      DMCA? Notify google?

      People confuse google with a police agency, and think United
      States law governs the world.

      Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who says indexed first shows ownership,
      is someone who needs to actually go out and learn something. Especially
      people who offer "strategic SEO services."

      The internet is full of copied, stolen, reused, unauthorized, duplicated,
      rehashed, content. It's what the internet excels at.

      No, I'm not ignoring times to take action. Thing is, I don't even care
      if anyone is using my content. Never even have looked. It's not
      something I would lose sleep over. Like I said, there are times.

      But I'll bet we are talking about rehashed articles with content that
      appears on a zillion made-up websites, that have no "value," other
      than just selling CB, amazon, or adsense.

      If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

      Agreed, the indexed first comments are nonsense.
