Protecting Your Blog’s Content

Google Adsense gives a tips how to protect your content in case it’s copied and pasted by other website(s). Especially if the duplicate website monetizes it with AdSense:

… After publishing it, you notice that another website has copied and published your article without your permission. The owner of the other website doesn’t respond to your requests to remove the content, and it is monetizing their pages with AdSense.

In a situation like this, where you believe that a site containing AdSense code is illegally copying your site’s content, you can let us know by following the process described in our Help Center. It’s our policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and other applicable intellectual property laws.

Note that “the notice should be sent directly from the owner of the copyrighted materials allegedly being infringed (in the example above, that’s you), as we are unable to accept third-party copyright complaints.”

Besides, you may report that copyrighted content theft by filling out this form. The reported website if proven guilty will be deindexed by Google which is the worst nightmare for any webmaster / blogmaster.

Bottom line is try to write your own content, make your blog content unique and original. If you have to copy some of other website content, make sure you mention the source and the link.  Give credits where it’s due.

Meanwhile, there are some content in internet which are available to be published by anyone such as job vacancy, scholarships, beasiswa, etc. Unless otherwise noted, you may republish them in your blog without any need for permission from the original sources.
