July 20, 2009 at 14:27How to deal with negligent copy pasteors?
Good day, habrasociety.
I was faced with a situation that ran into me some questions.
This topic is not new, the situation is classic - copying content on the Internet.
Many will say: “if you don’t want to copy, don’t write,” and partly you can agree with them, but only partly.
The Internet is full of sites with aggregators that collect information all over the Internet in one place, and weight this place with tons of ads and pop-ups.
How to deal with them? Somebody knows?
I always looked with disgust at sites collecting content from everywhere, because It’s always more interesting to read the original. And now I am faced with a situation.
After the publication of my first articles, I began (for the sake of experiment) to search for copy-paste through search engines, there were a lot of them.
I began to put a watermark on the photo to at least somehow indicate the ownership of the content.
Now I’m generally in shock (no, I can’t say that I’m naive and did not suspect that such a thing exists): I found
an article about the “Notebook Museum” on several resources in the following form:
- either a completely rewritten text (but the source is indicated ),
- either the watermarks are erased and their own are set,
- (the most terrible option) pop-ups like: "send SMS ..." that cannot be closed without killing the browser in the processes.
Search engines give such sites in the first pages of search results (optimizers work, what can I say).
Tell me, is it somehow possible to fight this?
I’m not even worried about my content, but about the “cleanliness of the Internet” (no matter how loud it sounds), because on such resources - viruses, spam, porn ads, etc. troubles.
upd
comrades, it’s not about prohibition of copying material at all.

I do this:
I have a website with articles, an RSS feed has been created for articles. Articles are “published” on Mondays. This means that on Saturday I post the article on the site, but it is not visible. Those. You can open it only by knowing its address (it is not yet in the list of articles). Next, we send pings to search on Yandex and Google blogs (ping.blogs.yandex.ru and blogsearch.google.com). As a rule, by Monday morning, when the article appears on the site, it is already indexed by Yandex and Google.
And even if one-to-one copies it, the original article will rank higher than its copies. Those. search engines will consider it the primary source.
Yes, sometimes there are crashes and doubles creep up. But this happens very rarely and is solved by a letter to Yandex.
