Site Scraping/Stealing - What to do….

by: Anne Haynes

Today was an interesting day in the office. I always tell my team to optimize their own web sites and create industry blogs to support continued learning in the search marketing industry.

One of the SEO specialists that works with me had his site scrapped off the internet and copied to his web site word for word from one top level domain:(.com) to another(.net).

The following is the original site that my friend put massive hours creating:

Web site scrapping on Infatex.com

The following is the stolen version (.net) of the original site (.com):

Web site scrapping on Infatex.com

Bottom-line infatex.com was position nine page 1 for the term “search engine marketing specialist” and now the site sits position nine page 2 for the term.

If you search on the company name “infatex” both the (.com) and copied (.net) come up.
Web site scrapping on Infatex.com

My friend did his research and found the following posts on the subject:

SEO Rountable’s Take on Site Hacking

Matt Cutts Take on How to Handle Hacked Sites

Bottom-line infatex.com was position nine page 1 for the term “search engine marketing specialist” and now he is position nine page 2 for the term.

How to Fix it:

Go here and learn the rights of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Another strategy is to email the person that has registered the other domain. You can find out this information by using DNSSTUFF.com and use the IPWHOIS Lookup tool. When you have this person’s emai information, send an email and cc’ legal@yourdomain.com (even if you don’t have a legal department), and state that the site hacker has violated Title II of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and must bring down their Web site or legal action will be taken.

Then

File a formal spam complaint with Google

Then

Use Copyscape.com to insure no one is cutting and pasting from your site into their site.

SEM is a Small World - Matt Bailey

by: Anne Haynes

In recent conversation, the name Matt Bailey came up. It’s interesting to be in an industry that is so close and it’s more interesting to know how I met Matt Bailey…..

After I went to SES in San Jose, I decided to surf YouTube for SES related videos. I ran across the following video with Matt Bailey. In his video he mutilates the word Wikipedia. I got such a chuckle from the video that I began searching for him in other areas. I found him on linkedin and requested an introduction, to my surprise he was speaking at the Miva User’s Conference in San Diego. He graciously invited me to listen to his ecommerce search engine optimization seminar which was very informative.

After the conference, I took Matt to the Gaslamp and we had dinner and talked about the industry. Matt, is a sharp guy and it was a pleasure to go full circle from YouTube, to Linkedin to inperson! To learn more about Matt Bailey, go to sitelogicmarketing.com. Enjoy the video and leave a comment if you know him.
