“Google crawls site A every hour and site B once in a day. Site B writes an article, site A copies it changing time stamp. Site A gets crawled first by Googlebot. Whose content is original in Google’s eyes and rank highly? If it’s A, then how does that do justice to site B?” Kunal Pradhan, Ahmedabad, India

Thank you explaining so clearly
Thank you very much, wow, it's a good article. Could you give me some advice about https://en.pebble1688.com/?
thnks!
but if we talk about reality , there are unlimited websites in the whole world who do copy content daily and nobody claim that? Fox example If i am writing a blog about nokia 6, surely I'll find some matter from other websites, wikipedia or images. You can do write a blog by own. lol
The answer here didn't help at all. Maybe because the question wasn't asked correctly. What would be more interesting to know, would not be how to fix the issue, but how to avoid it in the first place. You mentioned using social accounts to increase the traces of time stamps could help Google recognize which site produced the original content. Great, but else can be done? Please give us more ideas about how to maximize the chances of being considered the site which produced the content.
– Of course, what may be an ugly truth is that Google doesn't always care, so if a site ranked really badly (startup) produces the content, and then a hugely visisted website steals it, maybe google thinks it's better to show this content to the bigger audience. I'm not sure google cares as much about the original creator of the content, but rather, who has the biggest audience to show it to..
What do you think Mr. Cutts, is there any truth to that?
Matt I love your voice, it's the perfect backround noise for work 😀
One of the best Google homework.
Does Google+ help to know who is original author? I mean to say if site B share the content on G+ just after publishing the content. Does G+ can send signal to the Google that who is the original?
If you're going to be a bloggers be sure to use your own content. Google loves bloggers that have their own content. You not only keep from getting google smacked but you can also rank higher, create your own brand and original content can rank higher in the search engines. Thanks for the video its very informative.
what is terrible is when you discover a site which has copy an original content rank better than you …..
annie i thank if you have it in you to wright what you wright come from with in so you dont have to make it up whin you love doing this you donthave tomake it up this is god give i can wright all day with cop it becoust this is my love annie thanks
Better to use https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/spamreport to tell Google bot about the site issues!
So basically, all of his hypotheticals still say that the content thief will get authorship credit and rank higher.
Useful stuff here but how would you know another site was stealing your content?
I have a website that formats public domain works (and some copyrighted works with author's permission) into a Bible program format. What is Google's take on a post for a download of one of these books, when the Title, Author (original author, like 300+ years ago), and the table of contents (and a download link)? Other websites like mine are doing the same thing with the same material. Actually neither I nor the others are original authors. How does Google handle this kind of thing? Additionally, there are probably hundreds of online book stores like Amazon which have the same work, as well as Kindle, ePub, etc. sites. So how does Google sort out the ranking of my site versus all the rest? Does Google see my site as spam?
How we can improve the crawl rate?
This should be obsolete when using Google Authorship?
What the heck is pumps tub duh bub dub?!
I have to agree with Marius, the more i write the more content i get stolen and have other sites rank higher in my niche that even have free domain names. They copied my website, spammed and even hacked into edu sites to leave their garbage repeat content links and now they rank higher than me? oh please. Bohol Web design look it up in search. I have over 50 hand written articles and over 200 subscribers on a .com and still a free domain site trumps me because of hacked back-links? yeah ok
"A relatively polite way?" i have had this problem especially through YouTube Videos. and Link farms picking up my content before its crawled. DMCA? will cost you money or you could wait 1 month with a kickback (or link-back to DMCA). lets go to the 'spam report" where do i submit a spam report to Google? Please ad this to your links on this video. Thanks Matt
i trust you matt
Great discussion
Same thing for me. I started a web page which has VERY high quality content (people and thanking me over and over again for what I ofer). I have PR0. A different web site which just copies content from other sites (nothing original at all; even copied some of my articles) has a PR2 and over takes me in google search…
@GoogleWebmasterHelp Also, what's happened with reporting stolen/duplicate content form? Filling out my daily DMCA request isn't the way to go. Stealing content takes a second. Filling out forms and legal shit takes hours. If Google is so good at spotting duplicates, why such a hassle? Why make it easy for thieves (no consequences) and so hard for orginal copywriters? I got people stealing my customers' content without even bothering to change links and company names! But they're still ranking!
@GoogleWebmasterHelp Sorry Matt, but Google isn't very good at spotting original content. I wrote an article (job vacancy) on my website, waited for Google to index it, after indexing I posted the same article on a job site, including a link to the original version. Guess what happened? The original got buried and the duplicate on the job site is ranking. The job site is PR5, mine PR6. So explain to me, because all the things you mention here are simply not true.
Хватит махать руками
google can crash the web? nice.

Looking good Matt, there is always a few gems.
What are the new tags I like the meta tag author and can see how these can be used to look at spam reports, if we all do a spam report and googlebot sees many tag discrepancies associated with the oft reported site.
I use pingomatic to announce my new posts, recently I have been persuaded to use facebook and now you would have me tweet 🙂
eeeeeey the same famous shirt. is there any fanpage of it? should be one!
Matt I glad JohnMu had Google's DMCA form fixed. I will sign up for Twitter an set up pubsubhub, but is that going to help if my site has a Panda penalty? Google has crossed the line of Fair Use by removing search results for the original content creator with Panda as soon as new posts are scraped.
No wonder you are hiring.
wow Matt. that was the longest video of you i think. 🙂
Matt, thanks for this insightful video. How is possible for someone to see if a piece of content e.g. a paragraph is published somewhere else across the web? Is google make some tools available for this?
