I had this happening to me a while ago with one of my sites. The site automatically published the exact same post as I published on my website but since his website got indexed more frequently, he got the first index from Google and therefore ranked 1st.I came across a blog will researching new keywords. When analyzing the site, all the articles are plagiarized from other blogs. Complete copy and paste job but it's ranking above its competitors. How in the world is this possible?
