wow im pissed

I wrote this great article and submitted it to ezinearticles.com and I have been getting alot of traffic from other reposters.

Find out today this one site reposts my article, claims the credit for themselves as they author then gives "free reprint rights - just keep our info"

Pisses me off that I work so hard on it just to get another site steal it, claim it as thier own, AND rank better than me.

 

yea that sucks ... you'll see quite a bit of that unfortunately though
not usually as bad as you describe, send them an email asking them to
correct the situation ... though I personally just keep moving forward
and dont waste time seeing who is using and how

I just did a whois becuase I was going to send a cease and desist but of course they are in Canada, so not much luck I am afraid.

 

Same thing happened to me.

My link was removed but the ezinearticles link was in tact. I got screwed on that deal.

Yeah, that happens alot! the worst thing about this is that other people will copy your article from that Pirate's site and then you'll be seeing your article popping up on other BS sites without any mention of yourself.

In a Similar situation, I wrote a testimonial (mistake was putting my real name at the end) for a website and eventually other Internet Marketing sites were taking my actual quote and name and placing it on their site, endorsing their product/service. I was pretty bummed about that.

 

I use to have a site that scrapped content from goarticles. I would get a few emails a month asking why the links were not active. I would rework the content for them no problem. The funny thing was there was never an issue with the software, but with the article itself. They never created active links in the original article. Might be off topic, but publishers make sure you verify your content before you submit it to article site.

 

this sucks but I think it's the wrong forum your posting in (adsense)

 

You're wasting your time and getting worked up over something beyond your control. Better to just tell them to provide a link back to your site as the original owner instead of trying to bombrush them with legal stuff. Do it nicely. This is the Internet. It's basically the Wild Wild West. Unless you've got a corporation and millions behind you, forget about trying to maintain "control" over what you put on the net. It's just the facts. Tell them to give you a link and move on with something else. Be glad that you wrote something so great people are willing to steal.

 

why you posting here. This is adsense forum!

 

Thats really messed up... at least i hope google dups them for duplicate content? If they have any adsense ads you can contact google and get them banned maybe?

 

Not in this lifetime.

 

:/ Well all i can say is that really sucks.... if you earning good money a lawyer comes in handy.

 

I run an article submission service at Article Authors, and one of the things I'm beginning to tell my clients is to start incorporating their website urls in a meaningful way (if at all possible) in the body of the text. Granted, it may not be parsed by the receiving site, however the reader will get a general idea of where the article is coming from if you coach the text a certain way.

 

The moral of the story is don't submit your highest quality articles to article sites.

Submit the 3rd or 4th grade articles, keep 1st grade for your site and your site only.
