If you are lucky enough to have them hotlinking your content you can use .htaccess to serve their visitors alternate images… like off-topic 1500×1000 pixel jpg files ;)

After finding one of my articles on airport parking posted on a competitor’s site covered by their copyright and syndicated though 80+ sites, I wrote an article on plagiarism and what to do about it. I cited their site and emailed it to them saying I would publish the article and file a DMCA with Google if the article wasn’t removed.

They responded almost immediately and the article was removed.

This worked well with a large site with lots to lose, it’s the faceless blogs that are the nightmare.

I have made personal arrangements with some magazines to re-publish parts of their content that are relevant to my users.. the magazines have agreed to this and I provide a link back to them. I feel that this benefits both parties. Does this harm my rankings?

Malte: For several reasons. Your post might get deindexed after a while or lose it’s Google juice due to being buried in the archives while content thieves tend to “submit to 100 social bookmaking sites” so that after a while they rank higher than you or you get deindexed because of that.

Also if you check some of the stolen posts that have been submitted to StumbleUpon you’ll notice that many of them have many more stumbles than the originals.

Last but not least: It’s not like with music. When I’m downloading Madonna I am not telling anybody that I wrote “like a virgin” myself.

When your posts have already gone popular, why care about thieves? All the links you got should prevent Google from mistaking the thieve as the original source and thus not harm your rankings.
