Horrible loosers, they are! That’s the problem with the internet, they can use everything you have worked for and what can you do. You’re doing the right thing by putting them in your post! At least it is a warning!

I write several blogs and when I found my personal pet favorite had been raided I was livid. And a colleague gave me that"imitation is the sincerest blah blah blah. Two people I want to punch now.

Ian, I definitly feel your pain. Integrity is something that people have seemed to have forgotten about. People would rather give up their creativity and settle for stealing someone else’s. Shocking. For instance, I recently shipped some cars to Finland using Auto Shipping Network;very professional individuals, after using another shiping company that had “no integity” to say the least. If you ever need a car shipped overseas, look up http://www.autoshippingnetwork.com. Keep up the good work Ian.

I vote for a weekly post outing the thefts. But for those dumb enough to keep your company name in the stolen copy I say we go slap them silly. We can call it an SEO road trip.

Websites steal my product copy all the time. Legal won’t do anything about it, because the websites are peddling our products via the stolen copy, so it’s all good. Still ticks me off, though. I’m not talking about little mom-and-pop affiliates, either…these are fairly well-known sites in our category. They can’t afford a writer? Grrrr.

Your website has been one of my favorite finds in my research on a how to hire SEOs ebook for a client…and I’m glad I’ve stuck around. Good for you for not holding back. These fools deserve to be called out.

Hi there Ian, take a look at this: http://www.positie1.nl/optimalisatie-uitbesteden-zijn-seo-bedrijven-oplichters/
It’s a Dutch translation of your article ’10 questions to evaluate an SEO’. I know he didn’t ask you, no credits to you or anything. The basterd. When I commented and told him he shouldn’t steal and pretend it’s his content he just deleted the comment…
Knowing I once asked you if you agreed with me translating some of your articles to Dutch…. take him to court!! Or at least punch him!!

I agree that agencies should be wiser than to copy copy. Furthermore, be careful to check any so called “fresh content” that clients give you to load into their web sites (coming from a web design firm perspective).

UNBELIEVABLE! I cannot believe how many actual instances you found Ian. I would also like to hit these punk ass content jackers with a left hook and knock some sense into them. Thanks for taking the time to actually find real examples of these perpetrators. Their time will be short lived.
