'Plagiarists Are The Biggest Threat To Our Reputation': Says India's Top IT Firm, Dot Com Infoway

Dot Com Infoway, one of the top Indian custom software development and mobile application development company, says that, it had filed several complaints under DMCA, after identifying numerous ‘copycat’ companies, who failed to comply with the strict copyright laws, when creating their websites. DCI's Chief Technology Officer, Mr.Vijay, said 'Plagiarists are the biggest threat to our company's reputation' and he added that despite the presence of strict copyright laws, the copycat companies are still helping themselves with web contents and designs, that is not legally theirs.

DCI, is currently taking action against the plagiarists, to resolve numerous copyright infringements, which were discovered during the mid-October. The company says that not just small companies, but some big companies are also capable of stealing online contents and at the same time has a risk of it. A `copyrighted online content' could be anything such as web designs, text content, news, music, movies, or even images, which may bring confusion to the regular visitors to the site. Anti-file sharing acts and provision will absolutely protect the intellectual property rights of the entertainment websites, but would hurt the International Internet culture.

Recently, a Korean organization for Intellectual property safeguard suggested that the power to suspend the Web accounts of copycat companies and scam websites who consistently involve in copyright infringements or illegal distribution of any intellectual properties, can be given to a centralized authority or an International body. And it also suggested that the Internet companies, which do not comply with the infringement acts could have all their Web presence, shut down after one or two severe warnings, over copyright infringement, whether or not the owners complain about it.

Owing to the recent copyright infringement incidents, DCI's top official expressed that the unlawful duplication of its online content from their corporate site, devalued its reputation and accounted for a minimal drop in visitor's rate. Especially, some major search engines which penalizes the duplicate web contents, reacted well for the complaints filed by DCI – and even some of the companies who stole DCI's web design and text contents, immediately changed their whole web site design. As a result, DCI has started using online plagiarism checker such as Copyscape, which offers premium web scan services, to find out duplicate online contents, which were copied & pasted, insufficiently re-written, not correctly referenced to the original owner of the content.

In a meet, DCI's top official said “We’ve already developed number of mobile applications and games for us and our clients and presently, we have several applications at various stages of development” and he added, he expects more revenue from mobile applications porting services rather than fresh apps development.

Furthermore, along with major app markets , the private mobile apps vendors are highly-committed to their respective platforms, so there is a high potentiality for overseas customer base that would lead a mobile app development company towards increasing return on investment, saving the main line of products.

Link, Content, Design - Do they add value to your SEO?

If web design is the heart of website success, we can term SEO as the brain of website success. Normally, a website comes for optimization once the design part gets completed. At this point, the website is raw, without any SEO stuff.

The burden of optimization worsens things for both SEOs and designers. SEOs need to optimize the visually-compelling website. Designers need to make phenomenal modifications in it to achieve higher ranking in SERPs.

To avoid all these circumstances, it is better if SEO and design get married in the initial phases itself. Better if they evolve together into a well-optimized and well-designed website.

SEO is not an old snake oil with stereotypical strategies or straitjacket methodologies. It is a fast growing, ever-changing 'happening' field in the world wide web. Search Engine ranking algorithms change every now and then so much so that one can easily forget about meta tag optimization, keyword stuffing etc.

In such a state of flux, does Link, Design and Content deliver any value to a website? If they do, should web design and SEO work together to achieve this? The answer is a big YES!

Make Links Carry Value

No more “click here” and “learn more” links will be seen in a website if SEOs and Designers work together. When we try to go with terms like “click here” and “learn more” for making a clickable anchor text, we lose vital keyword rich anchor texts in internal navigation / internal linking.

Tweet for a job!

So you are a post graduate. Ok. Let's make that a double-degree. Ranker. Etc. Etc. The numbers on your mark sheet make you beam. Your parents walk three foot above the ground, especially when neighbors are around. So, everything is falling in place.

And then, you want to work for a company. You await the recruitment ad. When the ad comes out, you see some new requirements and some new numbers.

Candidate should have 250 followers on Twitter.

500 Friends on Facebook.

250 Connections on LinkedIn.

You are stumped. And you wonder, what’s changed with the world. After all, Orkut and Facebook were banned in college. And the only ones who used to spend time over there, were 'losers'! At least, that was what you were told. And then the doubts start creeping in. About the job. The company et al.

Hmm.

You think that all of that is a wave of imagination in a jobless mind. Well, think again.
