Content Thieves, Plagiarizers and Crooks!
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/nathaniell/blog/i-...
Nathaniell's report that he is being ripped off by members of this community upset me deeply. Here is a young man devoted to helping members here who is not given the respect he deserves.
Those who steal from his site are doomed to Hell Fire and Damnation. Mine!
Place these words in to the Google address bar: Google's response to plagiarism. Now you will know how to respond. You can get sites tossed into Google's Garbage Can.
You can seek damages for popularization of copyrighted materials, but that is a pain. Your answer is to take action with Google and by other means discussed in the articles that will com up when you google the topic.
I had put up a couple of my sites to help new members. Now, I took them down. Nobody likes to be ripped off. I had one business destroyed by Internet thieves.
Beware!
No wonder that those who are earning money at WAU, do not display their sites. It's a sad situation but we have to face realities.

Thanks for the share John.
You're right, it's a massive shame! Nathaniell is to be commended for the restraint he showed in his blog and for stating that he would continue to help here in the community!

This kind of behavior is going to devalue the community interaction component of this training platform ... a sad commentary for sure. K&C may need to modify our Profiles to eliminate Website listings.
Unfortunately, WA is not immune to the folks that would be prone to looking at other people's exams for answers in school and college.
You are going to get people who cheat everywhere - even here.
Schools don't stop giving exams because some feel compelled to make up for their laziness in having not studied for the test.
Cheating in college comes with disciplinary action. If it is found here, it should be done here too. There would be no need to remove the listings option for websites. It has its good points but unfortunately, it can also be abused like anything else.
I often wondered why people don't show their sites until I had some of my content copied. I will be removing mine from my profile too. It's a shame these things happen.
Sad Indeed. I also took mine down when i came across a website with content similar to mine. Thanks for highlighting this.
It is sad that it has come to this. Other people's sites are meant to encourage us and help each other by leaving comments.
Thanks for sharing your concerns.
Not that anyone would be interested in using my content, but I've seen enough of this from others besides Nathaniell.
I'm taking my site off here as well as a precaution.
My content isn't the best, but some of it does rank and I tend to put a lot of time into each one I put together, the research, images, and so forth. There's no point in repeating what Nathaniell said, but I share in the same sentiments even though my stuff is nothing compared to his.
It's sad that a very few have to ruin the entire bushel of apples. It upsets me to see this kind of activity going on here. My work is not copywrited. I guess that's another thing I need to be doing.
I believe Nathaniell will not be happy seeing that people are taking their sites off as a result of his fully justified blog. Pity.
I know mine is quite inferior compared to his, but sometimes it does make sales. Having websites on here seems to cause more trouble than it's worth. That is how I feel about it and it certainly does NOT reflect 99% of the good people that are in this community. Maybe nobody would ever mess with my content, but just in case...
I noticed that many do not show their sites in the profile. Is it possible that in some cases this is due to reasons you pointed out? If so, this is disappointing.
