Okay ladies and gentlemen I apologize if this has been posted in the forums before but I just found this.
It's Google's handy dandy little scraper reporting tool!
Yes, if someone has scraped your content, you can use this to report it directly to Google.
This is the link to the form:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/vie … mp;ndplr=1
You pull up the little form, and copy the search query from Google that gave you the nasty little scrapers sites in search.
I used the first line of my article.
Then you type in the original site's address (yours).
Then you copy and paste the vile scrapers url (theirs).
Then you add addition details as you see fit.
(keep it clean though)
Click submit and send the info straight to Google!
I have no idea what the turnaround time is on this considering Google is probably getting TONS of these reports.
I just thought I would pass this on to my fellow Hubbers.
It's a temporary form I think. Google are only collecting data with this form so that they can tweak their algorithm. They won't actually do anything about an individual problem.
Still it's worth reporting, because loads of scraper sites are showing up above my hubs in their search engine.
Now that would be handy thanks! I got notified of a 'scraped' hub
it's NO FUN either
Thanks for finding this link. The problem has happened often with my hubs. I would hope they would take action.

I admit, I might be calling it the wrong thing but I was assured by a few hubbers on another thread that Google has a form for bulk spam reports. I've been looking for some time now but I just can't find it. I'd like to get started on the thousands of webpages with spun content and malware that are...

It's already been reported that some of last month's scraper sites are up with new hosts http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/111525 . Just letting everyone know that at least one more site has reappeared today (travelingandplaces) and that more hubs are being added to all the sites today. I...

(I checked the source code on my hubs and couldn't see it - apologies if I've missed it and you've already incorporated it).Here's some info on it (check out the slide show at the...

When evaluating the competition of keywords, I always check the PageRank of the first four results to see the competition. I avoid keywords that have pages with PR 4-5 since they are impossible to beat. There haven't been any PR updates this year or last year so I had to raise the question; is PR...

My latest hub is ranking #3 for a 200,000 searches per month keyword, and #4 for a 50,000 searches per month keyword. It has been there for at least 24 hours now, yet there wasn't a single visit from Google yet. What could possibly be behind this anomaly? Anyone else experienced something similar?
