Basically I CopyScaped my own content on a few sites earlier today because I had the feeling someone was scraping my content. I found this guy that has been taking almost exactly word for word everything I have put on my site. I have 80 pages indexed so far and almost all of them he has posted on his site without spinning.
The problem is my site is fairly new and I have no real credibility with Google. The only thing I have over this guys site is his SEO and whole site is absolute garbage. My content is all related to the niche that I'm writing about while his site is all over the place like a blog so to speak. He also has affliate links and garbage ads all over his site I'm honestly surprised he's even in the index.
I guess my question is, how does Google count duplicate content? Will he be penalized for copying my content? Also what happens if I higher quality sites copys other persons content?
