Thread: article copied and plagarised

I was on goarticles.com today and was amazed to see an article titled The 80/20 Rule for Google Search Engine Optimization, anyone who reads my blog will have read my similiarly entitled and themed article, its so blantantly a rip off.

What can I do?

If you have a look at this under the copyright and violations
section, they say that goarticles will remove any material in breach
of copyright. Underneath that section they also have some suggestions
about how to approach the offending author.

That's a bummer but I suppose it's all part and parcel.

Have you tried running your original page through copyscape?

Goarticles are cute and dont let crawlers access their pages but you might find a few more.

Of course there's nothing stopping you creating some kindly anchored links pointing at the thief

Just ask GoArticles to remove it. They will.
Then shoot off an email to the "Marketers" who did this. Ask them not to do it again. Nicely.

Contact the publishing site and ask for the article to be removed.
If they do not respond contact their hosting provider and get them to do it for you
If that fails get a solicitor

what's the link to your article dave?

Yea, if its changed enough, it can be a bit tricky.

Google SEO and their 80/20 rule » blogged thoughts is the link to my article, it was like the 2nd article I wrote for my blog, months ago.

Its on ezeinarticles now too, I hav emailed them both and we'll see how it turns out. Sucks though because on goarticles it i one of the top five downloads and thus I imagine that sucker is going to get lots of link from my hard work. I think i might get the solictors on him. He's based in UK I believe.
