Duplicate content

[helloworld]

Is this something I need to worry about? I noticed a website has copied the content I wrote on a clients website and put it on there website. Around 1000 words.

Google obv knows we're the originator as we rank above. I guess this annoys me more than anything. They haven't even linked back to us.

Google seem to be moving this way and it has both positives and negatives.

It might be a good time to start implementing it.

True that. I have actually been putting it off. Guess it might be time to bite the bullet

it can still be removed, i think the issue is someone stole your content

i'd email them and tell them to remove it

i often do SPECIFIC typos if doing a lot of content, then i can jst search google every now and again to find if anyone is using it.

yes theres programs to do it but its not the end of the world.

I was thinking I should just send a invoice with 1 day payment on it and then hire a collection agency on a no win no pay deal

+1, great tool.

I bought an article from fiverr that was far from unique, and full of their own affiliate links too. Copyscape came in handy then.

No need for typos in real content. That actually has a serp penalty applied.

You can just copy and paste some of the content into google, normally the starts of paragraphs.
