There seems to be a problem with the automated 'copied Hubs' process.
My Hub: http://hubpages.com/hub/Guinness-Shepherds-Pie
is reported as being copied: http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/arti … -wandering

I have a few other 'copied' hubs that are not actually copied too!
I find it hard to write about food ideas , rules and anything that can not be changed due to facts. When writing your food ideas try doing from scratch and write on a piece of paper.
If a removed date is specified, that means that we recognize that your hub and that url no longer contain the same text. There are two possibilities in this case, there was a bug in our detector at the time that page was discovered or that URL contained the contents of your hub at one time, but no longer does. Anyway, you can just X out the ones you are no longer interested in (the button is over on the right side).
SmileyC, you are right these articles are entirely different. I agree with you something is wrong. In my case I had an article copied and it was copied by someone cutting and pasting my entire hubpage including the pictures. My article was obviously copied. I feel your pain.

If you are seeing a drop in traffic, start checking for more stolen content. After seeing a nice surge in traffic following the latest Panda thing, I suddenly tanked. Stats were not updated quickly, so it took me a bit to realize I was indeed seeing a 'trend.' Sure enough - there...

This forum is a place for you to post hubs that you think are clearly of low quality and need flagging. Committed hubbers should follow this forum and check these hubs posted for quality when they have the time. If a hub has been clearly copied (for example from a PDF file that the plagiarism...

I like the new improved look of the stolen hubs link. Thanks, HubPages.I just wish it were more helpful sometimes! It can be so difficult to file a DMCA. It can take so much effort to track down the thieves, Sigh!
