How to see which site Google views as a scraper site?

[nicole.healthline]

If we have content on our site that is found on another site, what is the best way to know which site Google views as the original source?

If you search for a line of the content such as "xyz abc etc" and the other site shows before yours in search results, does that mean that Google views that site as the original source?

If the other site is outranking yours, it would mean that for whatever reason, Google has decided it is better quality, but not necessarily determined one or the other to be a scraper. That could be based on any combination of the hundreds of factors Google uses to determine position in search results.  It may just be that it has more/better inbound links.

If you focus on keeping only quality original content on your site, getting good links and mall of your on-page SEO is in good shape then you shouldn't have to worry about scrapers. Google will find and devalue the duplicates eventually.

If this is one of those cases where yours is clearly the original and the scraper is outranking yours for whatever reason, you may want to consider filing a DMCA report with the site's hosting company.  You can usually find that info with a whois search.
