Hey guys,
In the past few years I've had a couple of high authority websites (mostly magazines) copy my content, as is, and post it on their websites. The websites are bringing in good traffic to my blog and they have couple of resource links within the article.
Yesterday, a big Chinese online music store shared my content, including my video, on their authority website (the post is also featured on the homepage) but translated it to Chinese. When I saw this on my stats I visited the website, at first when I saw that it's just copy & paste I was really furious and felt like killing someone. Until I saw that this is a really high authority website and the post had a lot of positive comments and 2 links pointing back to my site.
This is not the first time this has happened so my questions are:
1. Will this have any negative effect on my rankings?
2. Do you think it's a good idea to ask them to remove the content? These are high authority sites with tons of high quality backlinks.
3. And Is Google going to penalize me for duplicate content?
4. Let's say Amazon copies my content (exactly) with a link back to that blog post. Now due to the fact that amazon is a high authority site, who's going to rank high for that piece of content or keyword? Me or amazon?
