68 Articles.com copies Hub Pages

Okay, I have bad news for anyone who writes Hub pages. A boat load of Hubbers have discovered in March 2011 that their hubs are being copied word for word onto a website called www.68articles.com. We think it might be either by a whole bunch of writers with shit writing talent and who are desperate to get earnings from Google using any means possible - or they are being copied by way of using a "scraping" software system that copies huge tracts of information from other websites. I don't know what Hub Pages can do about it, but if you see any hubs copied there, report it to Hub Pages management immediately.

You should also write to 68Articles and report the copyright violations and tell them to unpublish the stolen copied articles. You should also report the copied articles to Google, and let them know that 68 Articles are guilty of having a ton of copied content literally put on 68 Articles word for word. You need to do this immediately, as this is deemed duplicate content, and you will be penalised if it happens. Some of the hubs are not indexed by Google or Bing yet, so this is pretty new. But some articles are being copied from before now. So go there and check your Hubs, to see if any made it onto 68 Articles or not.

If you reproduced your own articles there then that was not a smart thing to do. If you have stolen articles there, do something  about it. Because the word is out now...

Be warned...
