How To Check For People Stealing Your Content

by Brendon Sinclair on January 12, 2009

One of the frustrating things about writing a web site is that people can easily steal your content.

I’ve found many examples over the years of people ripping off content from this site – they do it for a number of reasons, the most common being simply to have fresh content for their own sites (usually those sites have a ton of ads on them): search engines find the pages, they get more visitors, visitors click on the ads and they make more money.

Here’s a neat tool to check if someone is regurgitating your content – Copyscape.

Simply type in your site’s address and you’ll soon have an idea of whether you’re being stolen from.
