    My article appears above the copied one in search  http://stopthumbsuckingblog.com/tag/money/
    What do you think I should do?  Will that cause me to lose traffic I know some sites allow this like about.com I really don't see how that benefits the writer.

      If the other site is using Google Adsense then send them a DMCA notice and Google will take care of that

    You can ask Google to remove the site from their search results

      HubPages has enough reputation that it doesn't not need a backlink from a copying site. File a DMCA and teach them a lesson. Never spare such people who do illegal activities so bravely.
      The end decision is yours after all, decide what you think best

    There is a section in the learning center (link at the bottom of this page) about filing DMCA's.  Study it and get those things out.  The net doesn't need more thieves.
