Bingo Content Stolen

I have had another couple of pages stolen from my bingo site recently,

xxxwww.ukbingoblog.co.uk - 75 Ball Bingo and 90 Ball Bingo both taken word for word from my site.

Polite email has been sent requesting they are removed by the end of november.

Its just so annoying.

Quite surprised no one else has responded to your thread.

MrKay is this still an issue?

Some common solutions for this problem include reporting to google, host and Registrar.. get the site yanked.. MANY articles there are copy/paste of a full article with a link at the bottom.
Getting yanked ought to get his attention, then he can learn to write, and make use out of that pretty cool domain name

Dont forget to report him to the relevant affiliate programs as well
Most affiliate programs will ensure that he gets penalized in some way .

We tend to pass on any earnings if it proven to the affected affiliate and the transgressor is given a warning re his behaviour

The way it should be done! I don't think anyone should profit from spam, content theft etc... except for the affected affiliate.

Hats off Wager Junction! This would be the first time I heard of a program willing to do this.

Yeah, still an issue... no response to emails sent so far. Although the site stopped being updated after i sent the first warning.

MrKay,

Shoot me a PM with your URL if possible. I have a few people in mind already plus a few methods they used.

Is the offending site www.ukbingoblog.co.uk ?

Hey Thornton Consultancy, please remove the stolen content. If not then I would assume stealing other people’s work is fair game. Unfortunately this standard you have set would apply to yourself as well.

UK Bingo Blog, another of our Affiliate sites is set for a re-launch in February. UK Bingo Blog will have two key areas; Bingo News - updated daily news from the Bingo Industry and Bingo Guide - an online directory of the leading Bingo sites.

Again I kindly request you remove the stolen content. Okay Chester!

Don't be fooled into thinking your big fat wallet will save you either. Take it down and try developing your own content.
