A DMCA Takedown Notice Email


Here is a screenshot of such an email that you may have received from Google notifying you of some content on your site that should be delisted from the search. It usually comes with the subject, “Notice of DMCA Removal from Google Search”.

Nobody ever wants to receive such a message, but in the event that you’ve got one and you’re not guilty, you can simply file and present a DMCA counter-notice to get the issue fixed. You shouldn’t mess with this. It’s been accounted for that DMCA can seriously influence your ranking in search results.

Google reported that a lot of data have been sent across to them from copyright owners due to content/resource copyright infringement online. According to Google, more than 4 million removal requests were processed in the last one month and more are still currently being processed on an everyday basis which has made it a new signal for ranking sites.

Note that it’s highly legally implicating to first remove a copied file, URL or resource and then submit a counter-notice after a DMCA takedown request has been issued. So, you should only try to issue a counter-notice when you’re very sure you’re not guilty of the complaint and you strongly believe your work is pure.

This aritcle causes a bit confusion for me; being new to this, my concern would be someone accusing me of stealing their content. I say this because I am sure I've seen it suggested somewhere in the training that we take content from other sites for our own. Could you address when it is legal to "borrow" content and when it is not?

No need to get confused at all, RAISHELL1! One thing is that there's a possible occurrence of most of the articles on your site being identical, related or similar to those of other sites. When such site owners discover this from the search, they may want to take certain actions such as issuing a notice of DMCA removal from Google search, contacting you directly notifying you of the duplicate material found on your site, reporting you to your advertisers and many more.

In this training, I suggested an excellent way to tackle and counter such a claim, that's, issuing a counter-notice to Google, though this is highly legally implicating if you're not 100% sure you're not guilty of this claim.

There's truly something like content outsourcing but what I do most is that I simply run all of my content through a strong plagiarism checker tool ascertaining that I always maintain a 100% unique post all the time. If there's something else you may want me to clarify which is not yet mentioned above, do not hesitate to let me know. Thanks for reading this training!

I have found the biggest ways to find yourself on the losing end of DMCA is to improperly source images, and to higher cheap article writers off Fiverr. Ask yourself would you write 1500 words for $ 5-lifetime earnings.

Thanks for your comment, YumaBloggers! Kudos for the discovery on how one can easily lose with DMCA which is sourcing images the wrong way. That's highly-contributing. It's noteworthy. Thanks for this great and awesome contribution to this tutorial!
