Naijafinder.com Is A Content-thiefing Forum. Bloggers Beware. by JideTheBlogger(m): 3:46pm On May 19, 2013
Imagine, this nonsense forum scraps my blog posts including the title but removes all inbound links without a link back to my blog.

See: http://www.naijafinder.com/search.php?searchid=138695

#Chijioke, Edet and Nelly are the brainless guys stealing my posts.

Please, if you are the owner of the site, remove all my posts asap.

If you know the owner, please help me alert him/her because I will report the useless forum to Google asap.

#Really annoying.

If you are a Blogger, run a search on the site with your blog name and confirm if the site is not stealing your posts too.

If Nairaland can be linking back to blogs and still remains the best in Africa, why can't this useless site do the same?

@Jide, imagine taking hours to create a unique post just for some lazy ass people who call themselves webmasters to come and copy the post, remove all inbound links and paste without a single linkback.

I posted a new post yesterday titled 'how to use uba africard online for payment transaction' and the post can be accessed via www.trueinternetworld.net/2013/05/how-to-use-uba-africard-online-for-payment-transactions.html

And in less that 2 hours, d so called naijafinder forum copied d post from a-z and removed all d internal links, you can see the post on d naijafinder forum via www.naijafinder.com/threads/568256-How-To-Use-UBA-Africard-Online-For-Payment-Transactions

Now if you run a search on google using the keyword 'how to use uba africard online', the so-called naijafinder which copied my content ranks than I(Google arent been fair on this either) hence, am giving the forum admins within 24Hours to remove all my posts from their forum or place link backs to their specific post(source) on my blog otherwise, I will be reporting the forum to google and they will sure be penalized and also I will report the site to google adsense too.

The problem is how will google know you are the original author? Google may not penalize them and namecheap may not wind down their account. Google recognizes the first web page to be crawled and indexed as the original author. Maybe you may have yo do some seo.

Are you the owner of nijafinder? Or it seems you copy other people's post too, that why you're talking this, as if you don't know what it mean to be a blogger.

Anyone that I find copy my post will be reported to Google straight, without me even informing the site owner.

Abeg, if you can't blog, go get yourself another online job.

Look at how many post the nijafinder copy from one single blog, haha is too much.

Haba, hear the site name self, nijafinder, finding anything findable. Abeg, allow me sleep.

At least they would have called themselves content aggregators. It would be understandable, with at least a link back to "stolen" content. No one is the original source of every single content online, that's why Google respects backlinks. But copying without recognizing the original author is outrightly criminal. Google should stop indexing the site (can google do that if they are requested to? I've not tried that before).
And as a sidenote, you've been doing great @Jide, you're an encouragement to us blogging starters. #Respect

I've studied the naijafinder site for a while now. .

Everything they do is automated. .It's a blackhat scraping tool. .

All they need do is 1.) Scrape keywords 2.) Add the websites containing these keywords to a list 3.) Automatically scrape/hijack contents once there's a new post

There are several complaint threads discussing how Naijafinder has been hijacking their contents such as this , this and this

Namecheap cant do jack... domain does not belong to them. Namecheap is a middleman ! Only gives you tools to buy and maintain domain's. Always read the fine print in this case the TOS.

Even google, wont do jack unless he files a formal complaint, and this would be a waste of time. He should not care, if his pages are ranking higher.

This is why i say it's not enough to learn to use fantastico to install a blog anymore - you need to learn the technical stuff - move with the times or become a dinosaur.

Jide should try to block i.p's and bot's on his blog - he can do this in .htaccess files.

block all
allow googlebot, yahooslurp, bing, miva, yandex and other know bots
block others.

Grap the ip of naijafinder and place it in your banhost's of better wordpress security.

Learn technical stuff............... fantastico is dying.......... cool

I know the exact tool he uses for that mischief, I know where he bought it and how much he paid for it. It's not really a vbulletin plugin, the author claims it works most forum softwares and blog platforms.

It's all automatic, it claims to copy blogs and even forum posts and their subsequent replies.

Naijafinder is not the only content scraping forum. There's a forum EarlyFace.com who also steals my content and others.

The good thing is that it is all done via RSS, so when i turned off my RSS, my content stopped appearing on their site.

The bad thing is, if you turn off rss you'll no longer get feed to your facebook and twitter pages, but you could do that manually if you really care about your content.

All these are balderdash. .

Your primary reason for setting up Naijafinder.com is to rip other people's contents and you are here yarning bballs. .

I can categorically state that there is NO legitimate post on your website and ALL threads/posts were ripped from other websites.
