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...

So are you a writer who thirsts and longs for publication and have your work sold and widely read? Well now there is no stopping you...

When is a content farm not a content farm?
Are some websites afraid of Google. I mean are they afraid of them to the point that they would rather the devil they know than the devil they don't know? Since the Google algorithm change in February this year, content farms that publish web articles from writers have been hit by a down grade. But the down grade has been applied unevenly and unfairly - since it was discovered that Google and Bing were using White lists, lists of companies on the net who would be given a free hand where it came to the tight rules made by Google. Tough on some and loose and free on others, sparking fears of illegal Favoritism once again from the European Union. Now Google are facing an investigation to see are they breaking the law, favoring some companies over others by changing rules and not explaining the change in full.
Rules of Google don't have to apply in the EU, which won't allow unfair favoritism by any companies. So the Google Algorithm could eventually be declared illegal and might have to be changed for European firms and Website creators. One thing is for sure. No company in Europe would get away with this, only in America. And the knives are out for Google after many European content creators are complaining of foul actions from Google towards their business.
What if some firms who have been victim of Google in the USA switched to the EU as a base of Operations? If the EU ruled successfully against Google, it could harm the American dot com area. It could see swathes of internet based businesses switching to the EU to avoid the unfair system imposed by the USA and Google.
And what does that say about the rules in the USA? Well, that's another issue for another time. One thing is for sure. When eHow can be a content farm and bask in the glory of being a content farm with great benefits from Google, yet companies like Hub Pages get down graded for being a Content farm of Quality Articles, one must ask - why? If the rules are stupid, which they are, and if we all know it, which we do - and it is unfair...then where is this going?...
This has miles more to go before something will give...
Worse of all is this question...what if Hub Pages is NOT a content farm, but a community of Quality Articles, and Google were just down grading Hubs so they could force Hub Pages to dump Amazon, Kontera and eBay. They all compete against Google for adspace, business and a whole lot of traffic clicks. Is this so-called downgrade really just an attempt get a bigger slice of Hub Pages traffic, since "Traffic Makes the world go round"?
Could Google be abusing it's power and its position as the worlds number One Search Engine to profit from the downgrading of others? Has anyone made this connection already? If you were Hub Pages owner, would you let Google away with it, if it were true?

Jessica Jarrell - an amazing teen talent
How can we not be amazed and enthralled by this beautiful young lady Jessica Jarrell. She has the voice of an angel and model good looks. I only came across her on saturday for the first time when some of my blog fans alerted me to her, as Cathy is a big Justin Bieber fan. Even she missed the Jessica connection. Heh! So now I have made this tribute to her on Hub Pages. Check out the brief bio but mainly the amazing videos, she recorded some of them herself at home and even in the back of the family car. She is just amazing. Read on in my hub...
