Hi,
I am Prateek, the founder of COMTIFY.
We have recently started content marketing and trying to generate social and search traffic. We started putting up content on our blog. Screenshot:
We create content, then schedule Tweets, Shares, LinkedIn posts on it. We also repost the blogs on Medium.com (gives a canonical back), LinkedIn Pulse, Quora Blogs (in plan). But here is an issue I am facing.
As soon as I import a post on medium.com (with canonical) and publish it, a website https://bestthenews.com/ scrapes the post and puts it up as their content, without giving a canonical back to us. Examples: this and this. So when I search on Google with the title of these posts (search query shortcut),
a) I get results from this website as top results (first 2 positions).
Also, this means that we are being penalized for duplicate content and not them! Moreover, not even the posts from medium.com are reflecting in Google.
b) Comtify’s own blog posts are nowhere to be seen!! (one more search query shortcut) Only when I put “site:comtify.com” as a query parameter, they get visible on Google.
Request a little help on this from Rodinhooders. Also, need to know if there’s is something dead wrong with our SEO strategy.
