How can i contact the owner of this site over copyright theft
-
Hi i am getting a bit fed up of people stealling our content and now i have come across this site that has stolen content from us but cannot find any email address or contact details and would like to know how to contact them or how to stop this site from stealling our work.
here is the site
any help would be great

good news, the content has been removed. i contacted the website they did not reply and contacted the person the website was working for and told them we would take legal action as we have done this before. they replied and have instructed the website to take down the content.
now a question. shall i still contact the hosting company and tell them what has been going on so the site is closed as it seems they are dong this to other people.
this company behind the website is working for a hypnotherapist by building links and driving traffic to the site, would love to know who the company is.
through checking i have found yesterday that the same company had taken a large number of content from us but now they have all vanished.
this is very wrong and i am just wondering if the hypnotherapy company knew what was going on or not?
this company seems to have different websites building links pretending it is fresh content.
would be interested to know more about them and what they have been charging to steal our content

I've had this happen to me on numerous occassions. I used www.copyscape.com to find the infringing material.
I first contact Google and Yahoo to have the content removed from search results. Next, a few days later, I send a DMCA complaint letter to the hosting company and the website will be removed, usually within a few hours. Then, the website owner will usually contact you and you can discuss as to how he/she will remove your content from their website.

just looked at that link colin but not sure which one i should tick. it list products but do not say anything about content theft or other site etc, any advice would be great. i have contacted him and will see if he contacts me back. tried the who is, but when i filled it in it would not send kept on saying about the address field not filled in, but i filled it in.

Looks to me like an article farm. Basically, a link directory disguising itself as a blog for purposes of building links. Probably not the sort of site you actually want a link from.
I would contact the guy who runs it to see if he can be reasonable about not stealing your content. If he won't comply, I'd report him to who.is like the other poster recommended, and report him to Google here:

thanks for this. can anyone let me know what this site is about and how articles get on there. it seems to me some sort of marketing site as the article that they have stolen is http://caiii.com/weight-loss-hypnotherapy-has-become-a-vital-tool-for-weight-loss/ and the link in the article as well as the bottom of the article is a link to our competitor.
if anyone has more information about this site then i would love to hear it.

Shows it registered to someone named Tran Khanh
Email: khanh.tbk@gmail.com
Good luck!

look this site up on who.is and there should be a link at the bottom "Is this domain infringing on your copyright?" - could give that a go...

Sites Like Outbrain that are local?
So I used Outbrain and I liked it, but I think it would be more valuable if you could target the state where your client is. Outbrain targets the entire county, which might not be valuable for a local client. I am wondering if there are any other sites like Outbrain that allow you to target locally?

How many categories should you have within a blog / Wordpress Site for SEO?
Hi Guys I am just wondering whether or not for SEO purposes it is better to have a small number of categories for your blog posts to fit into as opposed to numerous ones. The reason I ask is that I have one site which is fairly new to the search engines - 8 months old which has 7 general categories within the blog for instance "rail contractors", "railway construction" "airport construction" etc I have another site which is 10 years old which has built up 25 different types of categories for instance brand design, brand development, brand management (i guess you could put all these under 1 category "branding"? We've been writing lots of press for both sites... yet the younger site is getting more coverage on Google page 1. Would this be because the blogs / press are more concentrated under a specific category as opposed to being spread thinly throughout the site? Any help would be appreciated. Debs 🙂

Would you allow guest writers to have google adsense on your site
Hi, i am thinking of building a website where 30% of the writers would be guest bloggers and i was thinking about letting guest bloggers have adsense on the site. What i was thinking of doing was, allowing the guest blogger to have one google adsense advert on the page of the article but not sure what people think. The new magazine would be on one topic but i am worried incase the person kept on pressing the google adsense advert to get money in. The google adsense code would be there code, does anyone know if there is a way from hiding their code so they do not know which one is their google adsense advert, and do people think this is a good idea. This would only be offered to people who write good quality interest content. will be interested to hear your thoughts

We are contemplating whether to put a blog on our site.
The reasons we want to put one up is obviously for SEO reasons but since we are a small business with limited resources the higher ups are worried that we will start strong but slack off. Some feel that it's worse to start and not keep up the blog as it gives an unprofessional vibe to google and other users. I maintain that I will try to keep it up to the best of my abilities and that it's better to have something than nothing. What do you feel and do you have any experiences in this?

How can i solve duplicate problem with different url needed?
My client is a big international firm with 10 websites with different url (.co.uk, .com, .com.au, .pl... etc). All websites are exactly the same except the price. I suggested them to only use .com and use region as a sub domain like au.xxx.com instead of xxx.com.au. However they cannot do that for some reason. I am trying to solve the duplicate issue. I dont think i can use 301 redirect or canonial link because all regions are making even traffics. Any suggestions?
