Copying my content on a tour operator platform

[seoanalytics]

I am selling my tours on a platform that resells tours. They are taking the content on mywebsite (the description of each of day of my itinerary) to put on their platform.

Can I have duplicate content issues doing that ?

Thank you,

Q:  Can you have a duplicate content issue?

A1:  Yes, potentially, if the republisher's site is more powerful than yours.

A2:  Yes, definitely, if the republisher's site is a lot more powerful than yours.

A3:  Yes, definitely, if a lot of sites are republishing your content.

I give the answers above from extensive experience, enough that I submit hundreds of DMCA notices per year.

Thank you.

But what about if I am the 1 st one to publish the content online. How can they take over even if they are stronger than me.

Has google though about something ?

If a much more powerful site takes your content then you have greater than a 50% chance of losing traffic, both short and long tail.

If a lot of pissant or even spammy sites grab your content then you have greater than a 50% chance of losing traffic, both short and long tail

The site where I have my greatest problems with infringing content causing problems is a site that most people would consider to be a "heavyweight".

Being "first to publish" means very little from what I have seen.

Has google though about something ?

I know that Google thinks and says that they are pretty good at recognizing who content belongs to.  In my opinion, they are not nearly as good as they think and say that they are.

Most people only realized that their content is being stolen when the thief uses it verbatim.  But the more dangerous thief is the light rewriter.  And that thief is a lot harder to catch and a lot harder to kill with DMCA.

Ok but how about if my title is totally different on the tour operator website. Instead of "Tuscany bike tour" I write something like.

"Cycling through olive groves and vineyards in Tuscany"

Does it change something ?

and does the fact that the tour operator would only copy part of my page change something. They wouldn't copy the reviews or the introduction.
