      Hello,

      I have use the http://copyscape.com to check the duplicate content and found that my website have some errors duplicate contents with other competitors website. But a problem is, I could not define the reason of this (my website copied the competitors website or they copied of mine)

      To solve this issues, should I modify a unique my contents (this is difficult) or anyone have a good solution for this problem? Please give me advice?

      Thank you!

        Does the report say who created the content first. I had a very interesting experience with copied content. You can ready about it here. http://moz.com/community/q/copied-content-copied-website

        The post is useful

        Thanks

        Carla

          If the content is originally yours, then you can add canonical tags.  It's not a guarantee that the search engines will follow those tags, but it's a start.  You could also try to report the competitor site to Google and Bing and tell them they are stealing your content.  Keep in mind the search engines usually take a while to respond.

          If your site stole the content, then you just need to remove it and create your own, unique content.
