If you've spent time developing good quality content and have AdSense ads on those pages, you might want to try this.

First, find a unique paragraph on your site of your own content. A paragraph of 2-3 sentences seems to work fine.

Then, do a search on Google for:

"***"+"ads by"

where *** is the content from your page copied and pasted exactly as it appears on your page. Be sure to use quotation marks (") as shown.

You may want to do this on a regular basis.

The results will help you find those people who have copied your content onto their own pages and are generating income for themselves with your original content via their AdSense ads.

Hi Bobby,

Nice tip. However, why add "ads by" to your search?

I would want to know if somebody is stealing my content whether they're earning Google money, affiliate money, or no money at all.

Just my 2 cents.

Erwin.

That's a good point. "ads by" was just there to help find the sites that have AdSense content on the page.

The following is a bit different than someone stealing content just because it looks like good AdSense content, but the intent of this random example seems to be the same. This site http://www.besttastingrecipes.com sells recipes and the sales/affiliate program is managed by ClickBank. Browse over the content on that page.

Now look at this page - http://www.downloadfreetrial.com/health/best-tasting-recipes.html This site has the same content of the original but with AdSense ads at the top and other links at the bottom. The site does provide an affiliate link to the original site, but I wonder how many sales this is generating for the original vs. how much AdSense revenue this person is earning off someone else's content?

There are hundreds of examples of this. My guess is a lot of site owners don't even realize it. Some do realize it and don't care as long as they are getting a few sales from it.

By the way, if you do find your content on someone else's page with AdSense ads on them, Google provides a means for dealing with the situation - https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/topic.py?topic=145

It's the same thing you have to do whether they publish Adsense or not, you have to file a DMCA (which I am in the process of since my site has been completely duplicated by a thief) ... Google said do a DMCA when I asked about it Sad I was hoping they would take a stronger stand right off but time will tell Wink
