Hi,

What can you do if someone steals or copy's for site word for word ...... How do you fight that?

[jonbey]

I do not bother anymore. Do you rank well for your own content? Do your SEO and make your site good.

Install Tynt.com and ensure you have plenty of internal links in your content, so that way lazy thieves give you links back.

Make a DMCA report?

[jonbey]

Do they actually work? I made a couple a while ago but never had any feedback at all.

It depends on who you're filing the DMCA report with. Any hosting provider that fails to respond is liable under the law.

If they link to you, there are other alternatives, such as getting free anchored links to your site. You can learn more from Michael Gray here:

And Tynt.com - even if it is scraped to a format that ignore links Tynt.com will produce a URL to tag on the end of the post.

Accord to Tynt.com content left my site 14,713 times between July 25 and August 23.

Each one of those has the potential to leave a link. Links appeared on all sorts of places from blogs, reddit, digg, facebook, orkut, yahoo answers, emails, etc etc.

Every little helps.
