Sort of. I've found three hubs of mine, two on one site and one on another site; neither site has advertising, but my hubs have been copied and pasted to these sites; strangely it has links back to my hubs because in the body of the hubs I had put links to my hubs; the copier did not link back to my hubs intentionally, the links were already in the text. There's no credit given. But the thing is, these hubs are already indexed and I know Google indexes the older work (my original hubs) anyway. To me, it seems not even worth it to do anything about it; there's links (accidentally) to my hubs and my hubs are already the indexed work. It's almost like these sites are just catalogs of information, no ads, just content taken from various sources and put on the site. I actually found out about these through Webmaster Tools, checking out who linked to my content.

Perhaps this is already widely known, but I have just found most of my hubs copied in their entirety on hubinfo.netThere are literally thousands of our hubs there, all categorized, basically a cheap replica of hubpages. Is there anything to be done about such a site?

I posted this hub about MOPS a few days ago: http://thatmommyblogger.hubpages.com/hu … S-Meeting. It took me hours to write, and I wrote it about a very personal topic. There is no chance that I plagiarized it, and I did not post it on any other site.I'm getting a duplicate...

In reading the forum post from two years ago when all Hub URLs were changed to Subdomains, many people reported that copied Hubs began to outrank theirs when the change was made. I think this might happen again and we have five forum threads going right now about copied content. Be sure to do...
