I used to leave most of them to be honest, I am now finding myself tackling the copied hubs list.
Yahoo Answers, Squidoo and Flixya are all great at taking them down quickly. I just filed one with Google Knol, let's see how good they are
It's the crappy little blogger blogs that I don't know how to deal with, they never have contact details. Ironic that, how do you deal with those?
Same here, Ryan. I'm pretty disappointed with Google, though. I've been trying to get them to remove their ads from one of my copied hubs for months now, but they haven't. I filled out all the appropriate forms and provided links, but the Google ads are still on the plagiarized articles.
I used to "live and let live" if somebody posted some of my hub in a forum or comments box, but now that we are seeing all sorts of stuff ranking above our content.... that isn't going to happen now
I am filing DMCAs for stuff that I know had been copied over a year ago, harsh but that's the environment we are in now!
You can report blogger blogs directly to google.
Here: http://www.google.com/support/blogger/b … nfringment
Or if they have their own domain name and hosting then you could contact their ISP and you can find that with a whois search....most Webhosts and internet service providers deal with these matters quite seriously as it reflects bad on them.
But generally blogger blogs, yeah you contact Google like Susan said!
Oh Sorry! didn't see the "a" even though I am wearing my new reading glasses.....Should have gone to spec savers!
I'll forgive you, but only because you look damn gorgeous in your new pic!
Ooooooo get you lolol!
I get it too miss pretty, usually frogSdropping or frogdroppingS, which completely alters things
@ Ryan I've been looking over mine. One of my hubs is copied so damn much it would take me forever to sort it all out.

I'm guessing it's because school started this week, but today my page views have taken a drastic drop. They have been cut by more than half...is this happening to anybody else?

Although I continue to have traffic to my hubs and was earning a bit of AdSense dollars, suddenly when April came AdSense earnings stopped. Could it be the addition of HubPages ads?

Hi,Is it possible that the time right after a big event such as Black Friday actually has less (much less...) search engine traffic than normal?Because this is what I am seeing for my hubs... had a nice spike, now big crash. Am lower than 4 days ago now.

I discovered RedGage a few days ago. You can post photos, documents, videos and links on the site, and get paid for doing so. Only cents, but to get paid to post links to hubs or sites is novel. So I now have several PR3 links back to my hubs, and 5 cents(!) in my account. Will it disappear under a...

Well, was there another black and white animal crapping overnight? I don't have a lot of views, but it was climbing. Penguin only nudged it downward temporarily, then it recovered. Panda did nothing to it. I was just breathing a sigh of relief. I've worked diligently on my hubs to make sure they...
