4. Step 4: Report the URLs that Have Copied Your Content

6. Identify the Party Who Has Violated Your Article's Copyright
To report a copyright violation for your article on Mytour.vn, you need to identify the parties who have copied or stolen your creative work. One effective method to track down the offending website is by searching for your article title on Google or by searching for specific excerpts from your article (simply copy a paragraph and search it on Google). The most effective way is to enclose a portion of your article in quotation marks and search on Google. If you find articles published after yours with similar content, those are the thieves who have stolen your article.

Based on the violation detected in the top-ranked article, the article 'Top 10 Best BBQ Restaurants in Hai Phong' from Mytour.vn was copied 100% by the website (vnntimes.com), which used the content to run Adsense ads and generate revenue.
