Google has introduced The Scraper Report. It allows you to easily report copied content that is outranking the original. Check it out: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Pw1KVO … Y/viewform
That's fantastic! and so easy! now for some kicking butt! lol!
The only trouble is it says
'If you see pages with scraped content ranking above or instead of the original, please tell us more about it'.
So it doesn't seem to be used for just copied hubs purely because you have to add the url of google where they bad site is above yours. So at least you get rid of some of them, but will have to zap them the old way when you just get copies, but hey its better than nothing!
That's correct, Nell. This report is only if you find plagiarized content ranking higher on search results pages than your original content. This report does nothing to remove that content; you still have to file a normal DMCA Notice to get content actually removed.
The scraper report helps the Google Webspam team improve its algorithm.
Yes, that's true. At least it will do something about the fakes that outrank originals, which people here have reported has been a problem. Google tries to rank the original/older higher. But sometimes they don't.
I have filed several DMCA notices lately and noticed that Google now has a nice dashboard where you can see the status of them all in one place.

Someone here at HubPages has copied one of my articles. It was actually HubPages that added a copyright symbol letting me know. I flagged and notified HubPages of this but the story is still up. Why would I have to file a DMCA report when it's in house and HubPages knows about this violation? The...

Is anyone else being plagiarized by free article websites?I recently discovered multiple 'free article' websites that have been copying my articles and pasting them to their own site. They give the web address to the original, but that doesn't make it okay when the entire article is right there....

My articles are being "copied by someone else" right, left and center, and the system to report or ask them to take down or attribute appropriately is not so clear.

Just found 2 of my hubs copied here by this blogger athttp://fatema-taher.blogspot.in/since some time I've been experiencing a loss of traffic in some hubs of mine that have been doing very well for a long period of time. Since the drop was a continuous one I put a paragraph of one of my hub in...
