Hi, I did a copyscape check for my onlinecasinohd.com and found that inetbet seems to be stealing my homepage content to use in blog comments??
Copyscape Plagiarism Checker – View Content Comparison
Unbelievable.. as if these guys cant afford a writer….
Note: I have had that content from homepage copyrighted for 6+ years.

It should show highlighted all the text that was taken from my homepage..
Thanks for checking it out..

My name is Simon and I was involved with SEO for inetbet in 2009. Blog commenting and forum commenting was outsourced to an external firm from (about) March until may 2009.It quickly became clear that the external firm (in India) were not “playing by the rules” and were not providing honest quality SEO link building work.
As soon as this became clear I sacked the external firm immediately.
This external firm was employed by me and NOT by iNetBet and as soon as I realised the damage that they were doing to iNetBet’s reputation their work was summarily discontinued and they have not been employed since then.Obviously I tried to contact as many blogs and forums about this but some obviously slipped through the net.
Obviously this happened in 2009 and I have made sure that this has not reoccurred.
I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by these unprofessional people. Clearly I am still clearing up the mess 2 years later (moral of the story – don’t outsource even the most mundane linking tasks!)
Once again I apologise for this.Sincerely
Simon

[email protected]2009… hmm right around the time when I lost my #1 rankings in yahoo that was making me 100 – 150 players per month. You know, that site has not been able to recover since. Id say they did a lot of damage. I have had many of these blogs taken down over the last couple years and it seems every time I do a copyscape check Im finding more.
Inconvenience???? I think anyone who makes players around here understands just how much money this has costed me… 6 figures for sure!
I feel like I should be asking Inetbet for compensation… :cuss:

For the record, if there is a duplicate content issue on any of the major SEs (Google, Yahoo, Bing (Nee MSN)) a site would only be demoted in the SERPS if it was a duplicate of another site (or close to it) – not because of a few singular lines of text.
You would not have lost a #1 spot on any of the SEs because a few lines of text had been copied into a blog post. It just doesn’t happen.
Also as your site had the original text, it would not have been penalised. If any site had been punished it would have been the site that had copied your text.
I am not sure why your site would have been penalised by Yahoo, but to blame it on something this trivial really (with all due respect) shows a lack of understanding of how search engines rank sites.
Check with other SEOs and you will be assured that I am telling you the truth.
Regards
Simon

I would not call stealing another webmasters content “trivial” no matter the amount that was copied from his site and (with all due respect) I think he has right to rant all he wants about matter, If I was him I would be totally peeved to. As for the Seo side and damage it may or may not have caused if we new all the spiders algorithms we would all be on page one in every search engine.
May 4, 2011 at 11:21 am #816003GamblersdomeMemberI am sorry I didn’t phrase that well. I used the word ‘trivial’ to describe the amount of text that had been duplicated. I wasnt saying that the act itself was trivial (I hope that is a little clearer).

SimonPerhaps Id feel a bit better if Inetbet had just apologized instead of sending some thug seo guy to gag me.
I guess it goes to show what kind of people are running that place…
And it was a few singular lines sure, about 20% of my homepage textual content. But that few singular lines was posted to how many blogs??
Content theft is frowned upon for a reason (because it DOES damage the victimized website (SEO or not)) and breaking someones copyright is down right illegal. “Indians” (like it matters) or not you hired them, and Inetbet hired you and therefore Inetbet is accountable. It is not my fault if you (or Inetbet for that matter) are foolish enough to hire people without properly weighing them out and setting some ground rules.
