To all “Peralis”, and others following this thread,
I promised you guys a update and here it is:
We have dealt with this case as follows: the affiliate has been contacted and have taken down the “copied” content.
As you affiliates should also know is that some of the content will stay in Google cache for up to a month after something has been changed on a website!
Unfortunately for this affiliate is that they have used a content service that created content in a dishonest way. When this have been raised to the affiliate then this service has been discontinued (yes, people have been sacked!)
Copied content is a very difficult issue for affiliates and others in the industry and it also shows how dependent we are on google sometimes.
Even if someone is so rude to copy other peoples original content then in the worst case even the original content website can be punished by google because of their evaluation of content sometimes is not 100%.
This is far from fair but something that should be addressed to Google and not towards the affiliate programs…
I kindly ask people posting in our forums to collect correct facts instead of making quick assumptions and posting threats and such that really are not productive and also can hurt our effort of professionalism and relationship with our affiliates.
I anyone is still in doubt, please email me.
Thank you for understanding,
Nick – Affclub ([email protected])
