How to detect and deal with content scraping

When you are creating content for digitalmarketing, duplicate content is an issue that will always have to watched out for. Even if you are painstakingly creating original content for your website or blogs, there is a chance that another malicious website will steal or scrape your content without your knowledge and use it as their own. 

What's worse, if you aren't a well-known or high-authority website, Google might flag you for duplicate content by mistaking the scraper website for original.

The simplest ways to detect content scraping is search for your blog titles or content on Google, or use trackbacks or Google webmaster tools to detect if you can find possible scrapers that have a lot of links pointing to your website.

Let us see how you can deal with content scrapers -

  Add many internal links as they will remain intact during content scraping, and will bring you audience from the scraper website
  Contact the website owner and ask them to remove the duplicated content
  File a complaint through the DMCA
  Require a login to access your website to deter scraping, as they will have to leave an identification behind
