How to Catch Content Scrapers..?

In this post, we are going to look at some potential link building benefits to content scrapers, how to find out what sites are scraping your content, and what you can do if you want to either benefit from the linking standpoint or have them take it down.

Recently my friends blog’s content getting copied by someone, so he was little worried about that and trying to find ways to stop plagiarism. So that's why I decided to write article on plagiarism.

Quicksprout is one of the most popular blog among bloggers, there is lot of articles copied on internet from quicksprout. as a example, see the screenshot below.

How to Find Out Who is Copying Your Blog Content.

Copyscape

Copyscape is a simple search engine that allows you to enter the URL of your content to find out if there are duplicates of it on the Internet. You can get a few results using their free search, or you can pay for a premium account to check up to 10,000 pages on your site and more.

Trackbacks

The first way is through your trackbacks in WordPress (as shown in the image above). Many of these will show up in the spam folder if you use Akismet. The key to getting trackbacks to appear from content scrapers is to always include links to other posts in your content. Be sure those links have great anchor text too, if you’re going for a little extra link juice. And even if you are not, internal linking with strong anchor text is good for your on-site optimization too!

How To Get Your Article Removed From Scraper's Site?

 

Contact To Blog Owner:

Taking legal action immediately it's not good option, Before you take some legal action on content scraper you should try another way to get your post down from his blog. The first step is try to contact the blog admin/author via contact page and politely request him to take down that post.

If there no contact box, get social media contacts from his blog and send private message to remove your article. 

Report Google DMCA:

If you didn't get any response about your message, now it looks like we should  take legal action. Now go to the Google DMCA Page and submit you legal request to remove copied content from Google search.

Complain To Web Hosting Company: 

Find out website details like web hosting company name, domain name etc. and send a complain to the web hosting company of that website using contact page. they will 100% respond your message and they will take action on that immediately.

To find out website details use this resources: whoishostingthis.com, who.is, semrush.com etc.

Report To Google Adsense DMCA:

If that content scraper uses Google adsense or any other advertising network on his site, then you can report to that advertising network to ban advertising on that site permanently.

If you have any question feel free to ask….!!!
