The Importance of Original Content
We have stated that one of the most important issues for being prominent and successful in the world of SEO is original content. Preventing your original content from being stolen and used on other sites without your permission will be one of the most important tasks you need to do. However, someone with extensive technical knowledge can easily overcome simple precautions. For this reason, we recommend that you benefit from the tools offered by Google on this subject.
Protect Your Content Using Google Authorship
Google Authorship is a very useful tool for content creation and building online recognition. The system, based on a simple idea, allows you to prove that your content belongs to you.
The only problem is the obligation to use your real name. If you do not want to give your real name for various reasons, you cannot benefit from Google Authorship. Also, if you have multiple authors on your site, you can use the system, but each author will need to use the system with their own real name.
When your content is entered into Google Authorship, Google will know that you wrote it. Therefore, even if it is copied elsewhere, your ranking will not decrease.
Track Copied Content by Using Google Alerts
Preventing your content from being stolen and finding where it is used are different processes. Even though you take the necessary steps to protect your content, there will always be those who steal it. The easiest way to identify them is to use Google Alerts.
Google Alerts is a system that notifies you when a content you have identified is found on the internet. By adding your site's content to the watch list here, you can be quickly informed when your original content is used elsewhere.
