Does anyone have any thoughts about this site: web-archive-uk.com?

They have "archived" a lot of our content.

We have high-quality content that has been copied by others.

We are in the process of sending DMCA notices to the relevant search engines that have indexed these sites. As well as to the actual sites.

Are we right to believe that copied content on 3rd party websites damages/diminishes the seo of our own site?

(Leaving aside the straight forward theft issue.)

BTW actually impressed by the swift responses from Google to DMCA requests.

It looks as if they are indexing the content they are crawling, which could lead to a duplicate content penalty. I have found this link on their site http://web-archive-uk.com/form_remove_my_site_from_archive and would suggest removing your site from their index.

Does anyone know whether google marks down websites reported for copyright issues?

(I realise with the big G everything is an element of guesswork, but if anyone has any experience of this please chip in.)

Cheers

Hi Wayne

Thanks for that.

Confirmed what we have been thinking. We have sent the a removal request. Wait and see how long they take to do it.

Thanks again
