You guys might want to watch out for http://www.investmentstrategytips.org — they've also been ripping me off and I saw posts from other sites in there too.

Hi,

 

I just sent you an email about this, but in case it doesn't get through I'll let you know here too.

 

I received permission to publish your work by email. I hope that you have just forgotten about this. I included a link back to you on every post.

 

Best,

 

Mike

 

Mike,  as far as I can tell, your site is little more than 1800 posts of other peoples content surrounded by Adsense links. 

Mike here is in fact correct. The site has changed so much since I last saw it that I completely did not recognize it at all. Mike, I replied to your email and would like an explanation as to why you made the changes that you did. I granted permission for the original site, not the site as it currently exists.

Thanks,

Mike has agreed to remove my posts so I am glad that he is working to straighten things out. Maybe this was just a misunderstanding, maybe not, but Mike I hope you will let people know ahead of time the next time around.

Yes, it does have adsense. However, as I said before, I did get permission to use the posts. Of course, if he wants them removed I will take them off the site no questions asked.

 

Mike, Did you know that it is a violation of T&C of adsense to have it on posts that you didn't really write. The content is someone else's (Invest it wisely or anyone else for that matter, even if you give credit to them). I have been hurting because of this. My content was used by a newspaper and they had adsense. Just because it was a newspaper, google thought I copied the content and sent me the dreaded – "you have 3 working days to remove autogenerated and non original content". No one in that newspaper is replying to me and I have appealed to google for them disabling my adsense account. If you intention is only to bring all the good stuff to people, you should not have adsense. For everyone else who is giving permission, just keep in mind if the other site has adsense you might have to battle with google to prove that you are the original content and they have the autogenerated pages. Just my 2c.

Thanks, I removed the adsense.

Suba,

Which newspaper is this?  If they are willfully committing plagiarism and not responding to your emails, blog about them – I'm sure we all can get behind you to at least get an apology from the paper.

 

 

I'm curious to know more as well — I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you, Suba. That seems really unfair.

I can't believe the cloned site is still posted!  Grrr… And they are dumb enough to leave the Blogger toolbar enabled so you can "report abuse" too… I tried to report it but basically it looks like the original owner (you) needs to do it. 

Another place to report it to Google: http://www.google.com/support/…..ts=1114905
