Dual Core: Nolyj one question in my head now is the article writers you pay, what agreement do you have with them about the articles they write for you? Who has the copyright to the articles they write for you?

Although its highly unlikely but this may be a case of the same content writer being paid to write "unique" articles for both sites.

naijafinder: I just noticed you mentioned about www.naijafinder.com on Nairaland.
Naijafinder.com don't copy content. We have users on our website who post content of their choice since we do not restrict them and since they are been paid for posting on Naijafinder.com

We @ Naijafinder.com we also try to make sure that our users do not copy content from other site.
If you noticed your content on our website do notify the Admin at NigerFinder and he will figure out your request.

I also noticed that there was no message sent to the admin of Naijafinder.
Get back to me at Naijafinder.com if you have further complain.

nollyj: I think most people care less about copyright infringement. They are only concern in ranking high in alexa, have a place in google search first page and make money from adverts irrespective of where their content is coming from.

The two reasons they use for their defense when they do not want to take responsibility is that

1. It was posted by a user (But where was it posted on and who is responsible or in-charge of the "where" )

2. They always claim they do not receive any previous request or notification informing them about right infringement. (Does it mean in cases like this, the contact form does not always work).

If not for anything it is important that we keep to ethics in Nigerian web sphere

nollyj: @Dual Core, thanks. your suggestion is already in my mind.

@naijafinder, you said you did not receive any of my two previous emails. OK, I have send another one and I have provided enough information that I will help you check the authenticity of my claim.

I hope you do something about it.

nollyj: I just find out that one Nigeria website naijafinder.com are coping my blog post. When I checked they have copied around 60 blog post from my blog. I guess they are using their web spider to scrape my content. I even find out that they ranked higher than my website in many of my articles they copied may be is due not their PR.

I have send them two emails about this issue and that they should take down my content from their site but I have not receive any reply from them since then.

Some of these posts I paid writers for it. Since may website is about education, I care less about coping my content but if you copy my content you have to give credit to my website as the main source of the article.

I am doing something about it right now but I feel it is important to let other bloggers who write original content in Nigeria to check if their content has been copied by this site.

@nolly j, if you have proof then sue them, but be sure of what you want before you proceed, because it is something very cumbersome.

You can check my blog out and this is one of the link they copied from my blog http://toscanyacademy.com/blog/computer-programming/php-lession-2-basic-php

You can also see it on their website here http://www.naijafinder.com/education/17977-php-lession-2-basic-php.html

Please if you know the own of this website, inform him / her that some of their activities is illegal. Even when they choose to run an aggregation website in Nigeria, they should just make sure they are not violating other people's right.
