Default Re: People Posting My Articles w/o Permission or Backlinks

Unfortunately, this will happen from time to time. Some people seem to think they can do whatever they want with online articles. I publish a lot of articles online, so I've run into this several times.

I have an email I cut and paste and send to them. Even if they don't have an email address on the site, you can usually do a WHOIS lookup to find the administrator's email address.

I politely ask them to either remove the article from their site or add the required information. I close by saying my next course of action would be to file a complaint with the web host (or WordPress, or whoever) ... something that neither of us wants.

This works about 99% of the time. Hope it helps.
