Content & Writing Tycoon

I have been looking into the whole Google+ authorship thing by adding rel=author to posts, and that is something I need to look into further.

However, what is a business website supposed to do to protect its content?
If we have 100% original content, is there any way to "register" it so that the search engines know that our site is the origin of this particular content?

I can't stop a scraping from copying our original content, but if there were someway to convey to the search engines that this content originated from our website, then it would discount any other instances of that content found on other websites.

Not as yet, maybe one day there will be and the rel="author" attribute is one step along that path.

Just follow some steps to register your content as a original in google database, First create a handwritten content and then publish it on your site, Go to google and submit your site URL in google and then after sometime copy the content and paste it in google. if u found only one link and that's of your site then your site will be a origin of that content for lifetime.

Or did you make it up specially?

You can register a copyright of the content...and make sure to tell people your content is copyrighted!

You cannot register your original content. The only way that seems to protect you is to get your content indexed first before others.

You can register with a copyright company, like copyscape, but that costs money, but then you can put their logo on your website that tells anyone your work is registered.
I learnt many years ago to copyright my work by posting it to myself, costs of postage have gone up now so I email my work to Me & save that as a document on my PC.. That is done Before I post my work anywhere else. It wont stop ppl from copying your work, but if you find your work has been copied. Your document would then be proof of ownership

you need to register copyright and make sure your content is indexed first by google.

So did you think that website documents had

Copyright © blah.tld 2007 - 2012

purely to fill in a gap at the bottom?

All ORIGINAL content created by anyone, anywhere, is subject to copyright and/or intellectual property rights. EVEN if it does not explicitly state that copyright exists.
