: Moving Content That's Been Stolen I have several articles on a website that I would like to move to my own domain. However, much of the content I have written has been stolen by other sites.
I have several articles on a website that I would like to move to my own domain. However, much of the content I have written has been stolen by other sites. I have filed a lot of paperwork with hosting companies, Google, etc, but it seems that the minute it gets removed from one place, it pops up in another.
How do I move content to a new domain and let Google know, "Hey, this is mine."

Do i get this right? You published something on HubPages and now you complain that other people republish it? ಠ_ಠ

I could imagine that a lot of automated spam tools scrape content form such article database to feed their own splogs, since the articles there are easy to scrape, nicely organized and get a lot of fresh content.
Captain Hindsight says: If you didn't want your articles getting scraped and republished by spambots, you should have never published it on any article website.
If you can modify the <head> at hubpages, add a canonical link to your new domain.
<head>
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.newdomain.com/article_name.html"/>
</head>
