How to test your site on copyright?

Imagine that you are creating an interesting web site with relevant and useful content.

By adding an article by article, the roller for a roller and a photo for a photo, you notice that, despite all efforts, the site remains virtually unattended, although references to it, you and your friends have placed a lot. What is happening with your favorite site?

One of the main reasons for the "inappropriate behavior" of the website - available in the network duplicates of your texts. In other words, your article simply stolen (in whole or in part) and placed on other network resources.

The thing is that search engines "hate" duplicates. "But why is the problem with my site? I also do not steal (steal) content! "- You ask. Of course, the validity of search engines would have to apply sanctions to malicious sites, and not to your offspring, but, unfortunately, high quality algorithm for determining the copyright at the moment they do not. That is why the theft of content, as a rule, suffer together and malicious sites, and sites of the victims.

What can you do in this situation? The first step is to determine what your pages are stolen. To determine the duplication of the text on the web, there are several useful services, but some of them barely cope with the task, but the ones that make it more or less well, are partly paid and let you check a few pages.

Thank God, we are with you - and for free - we can use the services themselves search engines. To check on the copyright page of the site, you need to copy part of the proposal (first from the first paragraph of the article) and paste it into the search box, for example, Google. Note that the piece is inserted proposal must include at least one keyword. Why? The fact is that search engines are commensurate with the request to the main theme of the site. If the theme of your site - shipping, and you ask for the phrase "give us a call," the first thing a search engine sites will give about phone calls, and not about transportation. So you can not find the malicious user's site, if the latter topic is the same as you: cargo.

What to do when you find the offending sites? The simplest and correct solution to the first stage - send them a stern warning. You can write a message to them that if they do not remove your article, then you go to court. On most of the violators of this would really work. Usually people copying your articles, not very versed in the problems of the Internet. They believe that they will not find, and copy someone else's article only because it is not able to write their own. Such people tend to remove the stolen articles upon request.

But there is another type of attacks. These people are your direct competitors, and deliberately placing your articles on free anonymous services. They want the search engines used their sanction to your site, and he lost his position in the SERP. If you can not find contacts the attacker, or if the latter refused to correct the situation might have articles on your site will have to be rewritten.

Are there ways to protect content from software theft? Today, there are technical ways that impede attackers copy your content. But to protect the article, intended for public viewing, while the copy is completely not possible. It suffices to take a screen shot, and every article goes to any Internet user in graphical form. Further, it is treated simply to OCR. That's all.

You may ask, do no legal protection against theft of content? Protection, of course, there is. Copyright law has not been canceled. But to prove the theft of the site content is not so easy. In any case, to solve this situation, you just need a professional lawyer.
