My article has been copied

from the self-post dept.

I recently had an article do well on my blog, which was my first time. After a few days I was searching on google and I noticed some people had copied me, one in particular flat out copied the article.

I've tried emailing but no response, they are located in China somewhere according to whois lookup.

Is there anyway I can submit this to Google or something?

Welcome to the internet. You're one of millions of victims. Your best bet is just to kindly email the blogger to take it down. if not, then you can do a DMCA and cross your fingers, but the chances of something happening is 1:1000000. Just continue writing content, and building reputation and the blog that copied your content will not rank as high as you do. That's about all you can do.

Try this link for google:

I'm sure yahoo, bing, etc have similar process...

Well, the guy finally emailed me back with a bunch of stuff in Chinese...I think. I translated it, but it came out like some wonky English, anyway he took it down, so all is good.

Thanks

You can probably file a DMCA takedown to Google.

There are special agencies that can take down this article for you.
