Nadejda, I would suggest you file a DMCA complaint as well as send an email to the website owner/whois email/contact info. Also suggest reaching out to the domain registrar with a copy of the DMCA as well as to the Hosting company. 8 out of 10 times, this works. 1 out of the other 2 times, the offending site stop ranking and I was okay with that and then the last 1 was a bit of a struggle, took almost 2 months to stop ranking, but Google did identify it as duplicate and drop them in rankings.

Hi Nadejda,
Do you mean your content has been stolen? Sorry, I may be misunderstanding you.
My post from another thread -
If you wish to remove poor quality backlinks -
Use tools such as Ahrefs, OpenSiteExplorer, MajesticSEO and Google Webmaster Tools to identify the poor quality backlinks.
- Contact the relevant website with a suitable email and request the link be removed
- If no response after a week or two, try them again with another email, or via Twitter, Facebook etc
- If every attempt has failed to contact them, still note it down in a spreadsheet for future reference.
- Then, consider using the Disavow tool from Google but **only **if all other methods of contacting these sites fail.
- Unless you have a warning within Webmaster Tools about unnatural links, you won't need to do a re-consideration request. And even then, be cautious. A reconsideration request puts Google's target directly on you.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Spammy backlinks
I am very new to this site and need some help. I have two spammy backlinks in my report that were done by my host provider as I hired them for SEO.

I don't know if I should do the Disavow route or not.

Why don't directory backlinks show up in Open Link Explorer?
Why don't we see linking root domains like yelp, google, yahoo, etc? Is there any way to get a more accurate list of links to a domain where webmaster tools are not an option?

Why aren't my backlinks showing up?
I've recently switched hosting my site on www.vamospaella.com to www.vamospaella.co.uk (using a 301 redirect) and I've been building backlinks. According to Majesticseo, vamospaella.co.uk has 38 backlinks with 8 referrring domains and vamospaella.com has 15 external backlinks from 11 referring domains. Some of these backlinks date back a month, while others have shown up in the last week. However, I have seen no improvement in my Google rankings for my keywords. Why is this?

Best place to outsource backlinking services?
Hi, I have been doing "lite" SEO on my site for several years and have achieved some decent ranking for relevant terms. I have good solid content and and am simply in need of quality backlinks to boost my SERPs. I stopped doing SEO because I was focused on development of the site for about 6 months and lost about half of my traffic as a result. In the past I have used rentacoder, guru, and odesk for software development, but does anyone know the best one to find decent SEO consultant/content writers? I want to start out at about $300/month for back links and ramp up from there. Also, The last company I hired provided almost all links from India spam sites, however, I still noticed a steady increase in rankings over a few months. Thought on thats? Thanks!
