      Hi,

      So, we know we don't have the best content - so we are hiring writers to create unique content for each product.

      What happens if this is now copied by another website? What does Google see? Do they recognize us as the original content?

      Has anyone used DMCA.com ? is it worth it?

      thanks,

      Ben

        Simalar question here:

        http://www.seomoz.org/q/competitor-scraped-ecommerce-product-overview

        Short answer, e-commerce site copying products descriptions from other sites is common place, and there is little you can do about it, but I believed google will know that its your content as it will most likely be crawled on your site before your competitors have a chance to find, copy, post and then get crawled.
