      I have created a site that has 100 percent original content in my business category.  I have written over 100 articles myself that not only to help me rank, but most important to help the use find the right anwser to their search.  I didn't farm out not one sentence of any of the content.  With that said how do I prevent others from scrapping my site for this info and using it as their own.

      1.  Is there something to add to each page code wise that will lead them back to my site.

      2.  Does using the google plus help this situation in that google thinks it's yours and treats the others as duplicate content.

      3.  I dont mind placing this info on other sites as long as the readers know its mine.

      Sorry to ask such a noob question but I have spent all my time on the content and really know nothing about the coding side of things.

      Any help would be great.

      thanks

        Hello Jason,

        Scrapers can always remove your G+ profile image and link, but if you add it to all of your articles and your site has your own profile page and you link the G+ profile to your own profile page, at least google will know that you are real and you are claiming ownership of the content.

        It is too soon to tell if this is the answer, but it is what google says and it is what we are doing.

        Here is a short video I made to explain how to do it.
