So, I notice this blog that has copy pasted my article and now is ranking better than my own blog.

What should I do?
 
What!? Google isn't punishing duplicate content? Shocking!

Send a DMCA notice to:
- Them, they will probably ignore it.
- Their host, the host may remove the content/site but they may be using off shore hosting
- Google, Google will remove the content from the index but G may ask for proof that you are the copyright holder.

Already tried this, Google asked me to verify I'm the copyright holder, I did it and google removed their url from the index, the problem is, a week later they added a simple -a at the end of the removed url and now the copied content is index again and ranking better than mine again
If I try to DMCA again I guess it'll become -b next time and so on.

Hmmm sounds like they are dicks.

I guess keep sending DMCA notices to Google. Eventually Google will see what they are doing and ban the whole domain. Maybe.
 
You can't really deal with that easily,
Your easiest bet is to contact the website owner and send DMCA notices to both google & host,
if you're running some serious project/website, I would rather hire some lawyer and sue them, just make sure to take the necessary evidence
 
Track the offender and find out their physical mailing address. Then have your lawyer send the person a formal seize and desist letter listing what fines they will have to pay if they don't stop infringing. If that doesn't work, then have your lawyer sue them on your behalf.
 
Buy a sarkar seo lady gaga and send it to their website, you will thank me later

sue them for what? we don't live in mickey mouse land
 
It is indeed.

Auto generated content all over the place.

not sure whether google has totally lost grip of their thing, or they don't care about text-based content anymore because people are more interested in video / audio content or whether they are laying a trap before spammers to catch them and do away with them forever, but.... I have a feeling that variant #2 is the true one...
 
Identify the Source
Contact the Owner of the Site
Cease and Desist Order
Contact Advertisers
Request a Ban from Search Engines
Register Your Copyrights: Prevention is Protection
 
First, contact the owner of that site, send him a link to your original content (try to be nice).

Since we know this might not work, find their hosting company by going to WHOIS and entering their domain, you will get all the information.

Send mail to that hosting company or go straight to Live Chat and let them know about what is going on.
 
I really hope people start giving credit to the content creator

Someone took efforts to write it :(
