: Someone is copying my blog content. Does it affect my blog’s ranking on Google? I have posted one blog post about SEO interview questions last month, but I found that someone copied the content

Excerpts from the answer by Matt Cutts of Google for the question - How can I make sure that Google knows my content is original?

Google tries hard but is not perfect at identifying who is the original author of an article. To let Google index your original article faster before a deceptive site like a scraper, claims it is its own (by showing a manipulated timestamp), let the world know about it by, for example, tweeting about it or hook up thinks like Pub Subhubhub which will ping various places to asynchronously say that there's a new article or blog post.
Alternatively, you can do a DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act) notice or a spam report
