A few years ago, I created a website for a client who was a medical expert , she began blogging high quality content relevant to her niche. If you've ever written or created anything, you can relate to how much time and effort it takes to create original content, not to mention the knowledge and experience required to do it well.
A few months later she called and asked if I could help her, she d discovered her content was being stolen, the offender (a competing business) had literally cut and pasted several of her original blog posts word for word!
This had several implications beyond her annoyance and frustration at having her work stolen. Google is the king of search, but when content is copied (stolen) the search engine algorithms have to figure out which piece is the original content. If their filters fail (and they do all the time), the content and subsequently BOTH SITES, will rank poorly in search results, they'll BOTH LOSE TRAFFIC and BOTH LOSE CREDIBILITY with search engines and visitors.
Most people don't realize what measures they can take to get stolen content REMOVED. There are services that will do this for you but they typically cost $199 or more, and that's for EVERY NOTICE they send, and it often takes two or more notices before offenders will remove your content from their site.
Those same services will ask you for the very same information this course will show you how to find, then they'll have you enter that info into a form online to generate a standard takedown notice.
TIP: Why not save yourself $100 (or more) and learn how to do it yourself in less than 1 hour, with a checklist, links to free tools to help you find the information that you're going to have to find anyway, using downloadable example documents and templates in Word | .txt | PDF formats. Oh, and you can do this time and again as needed - no further cost to you!
