Infographic stolen Whats my best course of action?
-
We designed this infographic http://www.brilliance.com/diamond-buying-tips-infograph a year ago and now i see this http://visual.ly/us-2013-diamond-jewelry-trend chop up cut and paste job around. It is clear it is stolen visullay shows its published by inboudvisibility and designed by webds a seo company.
My question to all my fellow mozzers is what can i do about this? Any one have similar issues?
-
oops was typing as other people replied!!
No problem. When a tribe of people reply with similar advice it is all good.
-
I see that a comment was left on the knockoff graphic at http://visual.ly/us-2013-diamond-jewelry-trend. I agree with @Antony Wilson that you could offer the original version in return for a link back!

"Coupon Huntnig" instead of "Coupon Hunting" for no. 7. on the plagiarized version.
-
Great idea i will try that- It just upsets me that this type of stuff goes on and their is no real accountability to the people who did it.
-
yer why not or could you offer your original version in return for a link back?
-
What about the fact its all over the web as-well? Do i contact all the sites with that same idea

Surely reporting it to viaual.ly will get the infographic pulled from their site as im sure their T&C will state that the uploader should own the copyright ?

File a DMCA takedown notice might be the best way if you've already reached out to them and gotten nowhere. Tell them this is your next course of action if they don't remove your material that should get them listening.

You should definitely contact to the visual.ly team via http://visual.ly/contact form and report the "terms of use violation". I believe they will respond quickly.

The best Certification for Marketers
I have been working on Digital Marketing for long time ago,
Industry News | | Roman-Delcarmen
most of the knowledge that I have I learned by myself, researching, testing, asking, participating in communities like this one. But is time to go up to next level. Im not a Guru but definitely I'm not a newbie and I have been looking for the best, course and certfications on this fields Some ones are mandatory Google Analytics > Data Analytics Facebook Blue Print > Data Analytics Google Adwords > PPC But I'm looking for an Independent Organization who can validate my knowledge, time ago I read on Envato
"6 Professional Certifications for Freelancers", The American Marketing Association (AMA)
is that type of independent source. The OMPC look the same as AMA and then a lot of question comes to my mind https://omcp.org/ https://www.ama.org/ And I want to hear opinions of others marketers about it? Are they relevant?
Which has better recognition?
The people (who can hire me) will see useful those Certifications? As I see I have to invest money, time and a lot of effor so I wonder to know
which one is the best option.1 -
Latest Info-graphic Best Practices
This is a good "problem" to have. My client is a consortium of web companies. It has just produced a terrific info-graphic on the the latest European data policies. The author is a leading lawyer in the field and the content is outstanding, authoritative, and current. The issue is how to best use the info-graphic for both SEO and general marketing purposes. We will publish the info-grahic on our own site. But what else should we do? (1) The info-graphic already contains the website name. Should we make this a hyperlink on our own site, with or without keyword rich text? (2) We can certainly do handcrafted outreach to likely sites, who might republish. Should we just ask them for backlinks and hope for the best? Or should we embed? (3) We can also send the info graphic as an Eblast to a wider list. Same questio:n Should we just ask them for backlinks and hope for the best? Or should we embed? The site already high DA and a diversified link portfolio. There is no need for risky tactics or "Hail Mary" passes. OTOH, it seems a pity not to make the most of this. Ideas on the above? Other thoughts?

Best Tools for Invoicing, Accepting Payments, Sending Receipts
Hey All! I recently started my business about 1.5 years ago and am loving it, doing well, and learning new things every day! I am very curious what others in the industry use for proposals, invoicing, accepting payments and sending receipts. What we are doing now seems like a lot of trouble and we are using different platforms for almost all of it. Since starting, my goal has been to use as little paper as possible, so I do almost everything over the computer. We send out proposals using Quoteroller and that has been very useful because clients can click to the proposal from their email and they can also accept proposals through that link. We invoice clients from Quickbooks Online (QBO) and can have those sent directly to clients' email inbox. We have to manually create a payment link through one of Bluefin's payment platforms. We can send this link through email or add it to the proposal email sent from Quoteroller. After they accept proposals (hopefully!), and make payment, we have to go back into QBO and "receive payment" and this does not send out a receipt to the client. Maybe someone knows a way to fix it to where it does send an automatic receipt when we "receive payment?" If client requests a receipt, we must go into QBO and generate a "sales receipt." So, now that you know our process, are we making ourself work too much? Is there a more simple approach?

What is the Best Way To Structure A Growing Internet Marketing Firm?
I have been asking a lot of personal friends (who own SEO companies) this question and have found that it seems to be on all of their minds. From BlueGlass to a small start up consulting firm, it seems that everyone is doing things different and constantly shaking it up. I am wondering what SEOMozers are doing/have done for their company structure?
