How Blog Owners Can Take Action Against Theft of Content

The author of a small blog has called out a big news website for plagiarizing several of their articles. He was not given any credit by the authoritative niche site which had copied and pasted paragraphs of over 800 to 1,000 words long from his site. The blog's author is reasonably upset because this detracts from his blog's traffic by reducing the number of page views he's getting despite being the main contributor of the content. As a result, he has decided to contact the owner of the news website in hopes of receiving some recognition through backlinks to his articles. Although the owner agreed to link back to the original source, the small blog writer still had his pages buried by Google's search results under the article titles. This problem is caused by copied content being ranked higher in the SERPS than the site that published the articles in the first place. Copying entire articles is essentially the same as stealing someone else's work, which is why people are upset that search engines are not punishing this kind of behavior. Fortunately, there are many options when it comes to preventing plagiarism. One suggestion is to issue a copyright takedown of the offending material. Another solution involves asking the big news site to pay for the articles whenever they decide to share content. As a last resort, one could file a DMCA report with Google if they see their website rankings disappear due to stolen content. They'll be able to remove duplicates from any domain, allowing the original site to regain their SEO rankings.

Of course, the level of exposure towards the author's blog may be limited if the links are on the new site's interior articles. It's also a good idea to keep your articles on multiple domains you own just as a protective measure against content theft. As of now, Google is the only one who can solve the issue by prioritizing original writers over copied sites even if the latter has more authority. As an affiliate marketer, one must be aware of how well their internal content is ranking in the SERPs.
