      I have to agree with Francisco... mentioning Android in your copy or even a title, is generally accepted practice (although technically, it must be followed by the ™ symbol the first time it appears on the page). You can see more on this here: http://developer.android.com/distribute/googleplay/promote/brand.html

        Thanks Matt your reply. It's not belong to me. I think it's an RSS aggregator or something similar site.  RSS aggregator affect my rank? After few days left, hathmaluwa posts rank lost. That site rank well for a few days.

          Thank Francisco Meza!

          Oh my god, I use to to take the advantage of the keyword in SEO. I already used "Android is a trademark of Google Inc." sentence at the bottom of the page. As a result of that, it will not illegal activity. Am I correct? Because I saw that Android Branding guideline page shows "Any use of the Android name needs to include this attribution".

          Thanks!

              Yes, that site seems to be taking your content and ranking higher than you for it.

              Start here:

                Matt, that site doesn't copy pate my content, they only use shows my blog URL. If anyone click that site URL, it redirect to my site relevant post. So it will be serious issue?

                  Godad, there is really no way to keep others from stealing your content via copy/paste. You can prevent right-click, but that is easily circumvented. Setting a canonical will, however, signal the SEs (Google, Bing and Yahoo all observe canonicals) that your version is the original. which affords some protection, at least in terms of attribution. Dealing with such copy theft is just an unfortunate issue we have to face. Google, at least, is pretty good about being able to determine the original version. As far as copied versions being able to outrank your original page, there can be many other factors in play, beyond the copy itself.

                    It's hard to tell why it's outranking you for your own titles.  They could be trying to 302 hijack you - which is a problem. Or it could be helpful because people find your content.

                    I would start by learning more about "302 hijacking" and seeing what you may be able to do against it.

                      I'm seeing your home-page ranking by name, so I don't think "android" in the domain is the culprit here. Whether that's a good idea long-term is a different issue, and depends entirely on Google.

                      I do see certain exact-match phrases bringing up tons of your pages, but not the actual posts, such as:

                      "Sony Xperia Ion LT28i Android 4.1.2"

                      This could indicate a technical problem, or it could be a link-based devaluation or penalty. Your link profile definitely looks a bit questionable, at first glance. I'm seeing some pretty low-quality stuff, enough that it could be causing you problems.

                      I can't find the exact-match title itself on your domain, but I find dozens of pages referencing the title in internal links. This has the feel of a penalty, but it's oddly specific.

                      I'm also seeing a ton of low-value pages indexed, like all of the "Index of..." pages. Run this query in Google, for example:

                      site:androidgadgematic.com intitle:"Index of"

                      Unfortunately, I'm not sure there's anyone one smoking gun, so much as a collection of small problems, and that can be a tough situation.

                        Yes, Dr. Peter. There's no issue on the home page.

                        >>>I do see certain exact-match phrases bringing up tons of your pages, but not the actual posts, such as:

                        I face this issue on certain posts. Some posts are ranking well.

                        >>>>>Your link profile definitely looks a bit questionable, at first glance. I'm seeing some pretty low-quality stuff, enough that it could be causing you problems.

                        Most of my blog links are built by myself. All of them are manually created. Could you please give me any clue about this questionable link? You mean some of the social bookmarking sites?

                          I just see a lot of stuff that's of questionable quality, such as:

                          http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-turn-power-off-usb-port-on-windows-computers

                          http://www.hathmaluwa.org/ (multiple links)

                          http://shetoldme.com/Technology/Google-puts-stop-to-accidental-porn

                          No single link would be enough to put you in penalty territory, but the profile as a whole looks weak to me, honestly, and once I see a pattern of quality problems, I start to worry.

                          You also seem to have a redirect in play from www.thespicygadgematics.com/ - any link issues to that site could be effecting this site as well.

                            Again thank you so much Dr. Peter for that explanation. It's really worth.

                            Yes, I can understand what you said. I have combined thespicygadgematics.com, to AandroidGadgematic, because I don't have enough time to update two blogs. That's why I do it. There's no any penalty for the TSG blog.
