I recently discovered that many of my posts on this site were showing up word for word at techspottr.com. PN Ventures Group owns the domain techspottr.com and they have registered it through godaddy.com. Here’s an example of the stolen content:
How did I find out that PN Ventures Group was stealing my content? They had linked back to my site, and I received a pingback notification through this blog’s dashboard. From there I went to whois.com and typed in their domain to see who owned it.
What can I do now that I’ve found the stolen content? Here’s a great article that takes you through the entire process. One thing I like to do is simply post an article on who is stealing my content. Oftentimes, the thief will have completely automated the theft so that when I add something new to the blog, it automatically goes up on the thief’s site. This article may appear there shortly.
