I hate content / site thieves

February 16th, 2008   | Filed in: Blogging, Personal

I use Statcounter as my statistics tracker for my blog and many of my other sites that I have. Mainly for the easy user ability they have to offer and the easy to read charts and what not… However, I’m not writing about how great my statistics counter is I’m writing about how I tend to come across people stealing my stuff and leaving my statcounter tracking code on the page when they go to view it. (as seen in the photo below) code theft
This has happened to me in the past with someone stealing my WHOLE portfolio design and using it for their company. I was a little ticked off because they were in another country and I really couldn’t do anything about it. Has this happened to anyone else…???

    My content has been turing up on these weird sites and it does annoy me but sadly I can’t do a thing.

    Hopefully Google won’t penalize me for the duplicated content.

    If the violating site is using google adsense, you can report a ToS violation to google. Once they investigate, they might pull their ads!

    Also, you could contact the ISP who hosts them, but if it’s in another country…. don’t know how successful you’ll be.
