I found two or three of my articles being published on this site.  I left a comment asking for them to be removed and they were taken down within minutes. 

 

But I saw lots of articles that I read before which means that they are stealing articles from plenty of other people, some I knew for sure were Yakezie members. 

 

Just wanted to let you guys know!

I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of that crap for weeks – I didn't know they would take it down if I commented. Thanks for the heads up!

They have numerous sites that steal content.  Until now I couldn't figure out how to contact them.  For a while I had their IP blocked from accessing my site, but they changed the IP, and the new one is now blocked too.

I never saw them ranking higher than me on Google. Sadly you can't do anything worth to stop them. Include as many inner links as possible in your articles and use them as free back link generators.

I see no point in going after them.

I saw a lot of trackback type spam coming from them just recently, they were stealing my titles in their URLs, but I didn't see them actually using my content.

 

Nice to see them down at least, but they probably just moved somewhere else and abandoned this site.

I have experienced a number of those one word blogs.  I think I get a couple a week.  At least they reprint my article giving me credit.  I never thought of it as a threat though.

Thanks for the heads up. I am like Krant. I have been fortunate where they at least still source me as the writer.

I always put an identifier at the bottom indicating that it's original content posted at my blog.  Not sure if it really helps but I guess I've always figured getting scraped just comes with the territory.

I've fallen victim to this group too.

 

I just connected to their site and it looks like they are totally stealing the article now and not just a link back as before.

Wow, originally they just had an excerpt from my site and a linkback, but now they are totally taking the content, stripping out my links and putting in their own links!

 

That totally suck!

 

This is by far the worse form of stealing that I've ever seen.  I did a lookup on their IP address and it resolved to a location close to Hong Kong.

 

This site is huge, and the pickings are broader than I realized!

I've been having trackback spam from them too. They've been stealing my stuff for a while but I haven't done much but spam their trackbacks. Most of my articles have internal links. I'll see if there's anything else I can do in the interim.
