I removed the post about the guy who stole my content.

I removed the post about the guy who "stole my content".

He emailed me and said it was someone else who had done it, to try to discredit his name.

I found this site through an email I had received…but it may have come from the person who might have been trying to discredit the person I mentioned.

Because I don’t know who is telling the truth, and the person in question did respond to me, I decided to remove that post. I don’t know who was in the right (including myself), so I felt best to at least remove my post since the site was taken down anyways.

Agree?

    Agreed, that your reasoning is quite valid, if someone is indeed trying to hurt another person and using yourself as the trigger.

    I personally think it ’stabs at the heart’ of every webmaster or site owner when years of hard work that have gone into a site, is suddenly stolen. It can cause a knock-on effect of outrage…

    I think he’s lying… That is a pretty elaborate way of discrediting someone’s name, don’t ya think?

    When I was checking it out the other day, there were a couple of older domains redirecting to it that previously featured SEO content with the same person’s name…

    Nevertheless, you got what you sought out to do… so all is good now :P

    Glad you got the duplicate site taken down. I hope it does not happen again. I guess it is a wake up call that this kind of thing can happen to anyone.

    Yeah, end result achieved… chalk it up as a win. I’ve had lots of site steal my content and there wasn’t any way I could even contact them to get it removed.

    Dammit Jim, I was just coming over to ask him to prove it wasn’t his domain since it’s a private registration ;)

  7. Jim Says:

    Good point Bill…guess then we’d of been closer to the real truth!

    Maybe this suggests demand for some kind of web authority on this. What do you think?

    We had similar prominent thread at wpw http://webproworld.com/viewtopic.php?t=54419

    I would expect just caught not thinking is the most likely cause.
