We took a visit to http://www.articlescience.net and did not see a single writer resource box…not a single one. 

An associate of ours had previously told us that he had some articles stolen by articlescience.net. He pointed the articles out to us and it’s true, there was no link back to his website or resource box to be found.

What can you do? We think it’s time to send content thieves a message…and the message is that you can’t use our content without our permission!

Typically the first step is to verify that the content is indeed yours
The send step is to contact the website owner and tell them to remove content. In this step you will often times encounter resistance or get some lame excuse like, “I copied it from an article directory that said it was free to use”

Here’s the Whois information for articlescience.net

The third step is that you can content their hosting company.

Well, contacting their hosting company, Vortech Hosting seems useless and it appears they blatantly ignore DMCA notices. See the info below:

Vortech Hosting Ignores DMCA Notices – Part1

The fourth step that you can take is to contact Google themselves. Since articlescience.net is an Adsense publisher and has an Adsense publisher ID they are bound by the Google Adsense Terms Of Service. By using stolen content to earn money with Adsense articlescience.net is most certainly violating the Terms of Service.

Please feel free to share your comments about finding stolen articles on articlescience.net of plagiarism in general.

After not receiving any response from Article Dashboard he decided to contact their hosting company WiredTree.com. He received a response the very same day from WiredTree.

The next day a representative from WiredTree contacted my associate to inform him that the infringing content would be removed withing 24-48 hours. the day after receipt of this notice the content had been removed from the Article Dashboard website.

To date my associate still has not received a response from Article Dashboard.

Hats off to WireTree.com for taking copyright infringment seriously and for taking the necessary actions in a timely fashion.

Well, blatant article theft has reared it’s ugly head again, this time on ArticleDashboard.com. Another associate found a article that was stolen from his website and placed on ArticleDashboard without permission. This is even worse than having an article stolen from an article directory because his website was supposed to be the only website with that unique content.

He found an ArticleDashboard author listed as, Usman Iftikhar , claiming to be the author of the article. He decided that he needed to report the incident to ArticleDashboard so they could have the article removed ASAP.

Contacting ArticleDashboard to report the stolen was not made as simple as it was with EzineArticles. It was, however, nice to see the mention of reporting any stolen work in the Terms Of Service. ArticleDashboard does state that it will remove the article in question immediately. Unfortunately while ArticleDashboard metions to contact them there was no abuse email address or contact information listed within the terms of service. The "Contact Us" link leads to a page with a link that leads to their email address.

My associate sent an email to this link and it bounced back. He tried sending another email from a different email address and it bounced backed. Finally he looked up the Whois info and found he had to send an email to an "@domainsbyproxy.com" address as it was a private registration.

Hopefully ArticleDashboard will take care of this soon.

For the past several months I have secretly been using a web design service that creates UNLIMITED custom Mini-sites and Ecovers for me for ONE Crazy Low Price!

Infact I have been getting full Mini-sites with Ecovers for LESS than $17 each.

One of my favorite things to do is buy PLR or Resell Right products and get new websites and ecovers created for them which instantly separates me from the rest of the crowd!

Basically, I have my own graphics person on retainer with this deal and I love it!  You will too!

For FULL details go to: Unlimited MiniSites

Sincerely,

The Marketing Products Review Team

p.s.  I have absolutely no hesitation to recommend this to

you.  But there are limited spots so get it while you can: Unlimited MiniSites

He had just checked one of his articles through CopyScape, (an excellent service for checking plagiarism) and discovered there were 2 of the same article on EzineArticles.

He quickly found out that one of the articles was not his, but had been copied and claimed by another EzineArticles author. He immediately reported the stolen article to EzineArticles and they removed the article within hours. Now that’s what I call service!

It’s no wonder why EzineArticle is the leader of the pack of article directories.

Unfortunately, not all content aggregators act as quickly as EzineArticles does. I have personally submitted a request to Zimbio to remove a plagiarized article of mine. That was about a week ago and the stolen content still remains on their site. Hopefully they’ll take care of this soon.

Kudos to EzineArticles for taking care of business.

I have been a long-time user of the article marketing product Article Architect by Jay Jennings. It makes organizing your article writing into projects much easier.

There are a lot of things I like about the product as it has been very helpful to me.

Unfortunately I discovered the one thing that makes me uneasy about using the product and certain that I will not buy other products from the creator of this product again. What is the big negative?

CUSTOMER SERVICE – No matter what I have tried to get an answer to a simple question I don’t get a response. I’ve tried emailing, support ticket, posting in the customer forum, and even private messaging the product creator on a forum.

The results – in 4 months not a word, not a peep from anyone in customer support whatsoever. That’s really sad because this really had the makings of a great product.

There is a lesson to be learned here for those buying products to run your online businesses. A product or service without good customer service is simply not worth having.

If you find this product’s customer service raises itself to an acceptable level please feel free to let us know as we want our readers to have the most up-to-date- information.

So you’ve built a website, added some content, made a coffee and sat back waiting for the money to roll in? Right? Wrong.  The internet is booming with websites.  Billions of them, and with thousands of new sites being added every day, it makes your visibility on the world wide web seem even smaller with everyone striving for the top place.  How can you possibly compete with this amount of competition? By creating large amounts of relevant unique content.  Duplicate content is well known for getting sucked into Google’s supplemental index and taking your back links with them.  This means zero visibility and zero back links.  With unique content you are offering information to the user that is not already splashed around the internet, in the same format, word for word or very similar.  Unique content will stay in Google’s index as well as the other search engines, bringing you targeted traffic, potential business and whilst at the same time nudging your rankings up a notch.

To write unique articles yourself can be very time consuming and is prone to the dreaded ‘writers block’.  You also generally need to know a topic inside out in order to right a good informational article.  You can of course pay copywriters to do this for you but this can be very costly, and considering you will need a constant supply of fresh articles, it will also mean having to constantly pay out money in order to get this work done.

What if you could create an unlimited number of fresh, unique articles? And on top of that, being able to create one of these articles within 5 minutes.  A 500 – 650 word article within 5 minutes? How does one do that?  Simple.  By using a brand new online article creation tool called Article Writer Pro.  This tool, developed by online entrepreneur Andy Black can create highly targeted articles in an instant that are anything between 65 – 85% unique.  The system is quite innovative with how it works compared to other article creation tools out there.  Andy Black says, ‘The system is fantastic for creating articles for article marketing, or simply for obtaining high quality, one way back links to your site.  We’re soon going to be implementing fantastic features which will blow the socks of other article creation tools.  I won’t give away too much at this stage, but let’s just say that any of our members will soon be able to create fresh articles on near enough any subject, including subjects they know nothing about.  This is going to open up a whole world of opportunities for people wanting to succeed online.  Our members will soon even be able to build full websites using the content that Article Writer Pro generates for them.  Watch this space!’.

Why not watch the demonstration video which shows how Article Writer Pro works.  A video showing the new features will be available soon once they are active on the system.
