2 SEO questions

[nazmiyal]

Hello everyone I have two questions for all you fine seo people this morning...

1 - Is there a website that I could go to to make sure that I do not have duplicate content floating around on the web that I am not aware of? Sometimes people take information from my site and post it as their own and I want to make sure that google does not ping me for it.

2 - Does anyone know how I can report a spam site to google? I have filled out the reports many times over the past year and posted it in the webmaster discussion forum and it is still up there I sent one email to bing and the next day they contacted me with a thank you email and indicated that I was 100% correct and they removed the site from their index.

Thank you all!!!!

You might not need to worry about stolen content if 1) Your content was indexed by Google first and 2) Your content outranks the stolen content in search. Here's a video from Matt Cutts at Google that might be of interest to you: http://youtu.be/4LsB19wTt0Q

1. Why not just do a Google search for your content? If it's in the Google index, it will show up in search. You can make it easier by doing a phrase search that will be unique to your piece of content.

If you're looking for something that will check your whole site or do it automatically, I'm not aware of a tool that does that. A lot of people use Copyscape (www.copyscape.com), but that might not solve your problems.

2. You can file a complaint with Google here when you're logged into your Google account: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/dmca-notice?pli=1&

A great link building method is to find people who stole your content and contact them and let them know they can keep it up if they give you a link
