I regularly check for stolen content myself, I appreciate the little red C HP provides but it cannot be relied on, it can take weeks for HP to find a copy.
Anyways, I found this site, it has about a paragraph of my Hub on the site but it does provide a link to my Hub here on HP, but it does however look a little different, the top ad banner is really small, there might be something else fishy going on there.
The Hub doesn't get/never got much traffic but the score has just gone upto 100, so I'm wondering how much the copied content is really affecting it.
What is everyone else's thoughts?
I will provide the link but break it up a bit.

What does everyone else think? File the DMCA or consider it as a free backlink?
I don't know which article is yours, but all of those links click through to another page on that same website. In other words, those aren't the normal snippets you see with a link to the full content.
If they are not linking to your Hub, nail 'em. The site is hosted by: hostdime.com, an American company. Send the DMCA on the form here:

Thanks for your reply.
This site is just a bit different, they do actually provide a link back to HP.
If you believe that a site is using your copyrighted content without your permission, then a DMCA NOI may be appropriate.
You can find instructions for issuing one here in the Learning Center.

Hi Matthew,
I am familiar with filing DMCAs, it is just that it is a bit different this time.
They only use one paragraph and do provide a link back to the Hub, maybe take a look at at the link and see what you think.
It is up to you to decide whether you are okay with them using that excerpt.

Hi there,I was preparing a hub for publishing. After I finished my article, it has slightly more than 2000 words in total. So my question is, whether this article has the potential for getting more traffic or not?

Why am I not getting approved for Google AdSense? I am a former squidoo member. I have 300 pages (many of which rank in the 80's-100's according to the hubpage ranking), and they are all legitimate pages (not sales-oriented or lacking in sufficient words). Some of the pages received...

Do you think Google Cares about Paragraph and Sentence Length?I know that copy writing experts have analyzed human preferences to show that shorter paragraphs and sentences are preferred by readers and that lots of headings are better to break up the text than unbroken chunks of paragraphs. ...

This may be a really dumb question but I am fairly new at this. If I copy the first paragraph of a hub....put it on another site... and link it to my HubPages hub, will it show up on my account as Duplicate Content?
