Business Website Content Theft
Myth 1. Web Content Theft & Other Internet Copyright Violations
Are Hard to Pursue.
At least for written content, search engines make internet
copyright violations easier to find and pursue than violations
in print.
It is very easy to take injunctive action against a copyright
violator; it would be a waste of money in most cases to go to an
attorney. Simply file a DMCA complaint with Google, Yahoo, MSN,
other search engines, any advertising programs of which the site
is a part, and/or the site's host. I just filed a complaint with
Yahoo the other day. They responded within two days.
Myth 2. Search Engines Inflict a Duplicate Content Penalty on
Content Theft Victims.
There is no duplicate content penalty in major search engines
for work that is duplicated across different sites; only for
content that is duplicated across the same site. If there were a
duplicate content penalty for content shared across websites,
distributing content to other sites would not be such a popular
website promotion tactic. Do a search on "Secrets of Writing a
Business Website Homepage," on of my articles, and you'll see it
on hundreds of websites--none of them delisted.
Myth 3. Web Content Theft Completely Destroys Your Site's Value
to Web Surfers.
Web content theft erodes the links of trust that make up the
web. But it won't completely destroy your site. The web is so
vast that even having your content on hundreds of sites does not
mean that people will find your site unoriginal and not worth
visiting. Just look at how much of any newspaper is "duplicate
content" in the form of AP feeds.
In short, web content theft is bad, but it's not the end of the
web--that is, unless people let it be.

Being a webmaster is a much more important job than most companies would dare admit. Webmasters are responsible for the company web presence on every level, from the website copy to the web and email server administration. Additionally, webmasters are often tasked even more duties that should be considered unrelated responsibilities for the position of webmaster. These extra duties often will include online as well as offline promotion and marketing, search optimization, advertising, application programming, graphic design and/or brand management. The role of the webmaster has grown over the years and webmasters need to grow with the company's expectations or the website will not succeed. For instance, it is easy to get banned from the search engines for not knowing the correct methods to use to optimize a website for a better results ranking from the search engines for any particular search phrase.
This is why Webmastery is here, not just to offer direction and assist webmasters, but to do so masterfully, as you expect of yourself, or as your company expects out of you.
Since I am an American and know only American English and SEO methods, I specialize in American Webmastery. Hence the domain name, Webmastery.US.
However, please note that often both sides of the coin are presented here. Some webmasters swear by Linux and we offer articles by such authors to give insight to their creativity. Others are die-hard Microsoft software fans and use Windows based servers. Despite the bias, each system has its own advantages, and such articles are reprinted here for their positive contribution to those platforms, not to enforce their bias. It is we that have to make the final analysis.
This difference is even more apparent when I am showcasing and promoting white hat SEO (search engine optimization) and a black hat SEO article is published here, which method if followed could get a website banned from the search engines. The reason I allow it a small platform is to showcase its apparent and obvious idiocy in contrast to white hat SEO techniques. And as I cannot edit these articles in order to correct them, I let their illogicality and stupidity stand on their own for a time without any edits. But in case their spaminess is not apparent, I often do not let such articles stand long.
