Comment posted on How to Use Google to Build Links by Anthony Hendriks
Terry, not on topic but this one is bugging me: with all the article and copy theft on the net it makes me wonder if it’s worth publishing content broadly. I mean someone could steal it, and get indexed by Google ahead of you for your content.
Your thoughts?

- Thanks Terry (re article theft). One point: these thieves will copy, take out your site info and post, so no credit to you.

Simple example but good one Terry. And it’s amazing that at an even more basic stuff on a site fails. I found a site the other day were the Paypal button didn’t work! And this was a corporate site.

Anthony,
I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. Google has some seriously advanced duplicate content protection in place (vectors, etc) and it seems their real focus is on identifying the original content source. Also, if you mention your site or brandname within the article you’ll get citations, right?
Hi Terry. I bought 10 Commandments of SEO. Signed up for membership site and was directed here. Excellent content here as well. Looking forward to implementing some of the things I’m learning from you. Thank you for sharing so generously.
Thanks Zee! Feel free to jump in and ask questions/submit comments.

Yep, that’s why I mentioned citations, but they’ll likely take those out too I guess. As long as you publish first, you should be fine.
