Had pirate shut down, chance Google will re-index me?

So, those contents are not your content at all. Because you are facing it from October and didn't take any steps for it. So, the easiest way for you to delete all the content from October and write something new and publish it to the bookmarking sites and social networking sites within hours of your posting.

Is your website deindexed completely?

No - just lost ranking.
If I have the pirate site shut down, will Google ever see it as my content?

If you are not deindexed, you can always come back in the serps.

I had the same problem. It got so overwhelming that I gave up reporting the pirate websites and started focusing on building backlinks. It didn't take long and my site was #1 and those sites got omitted results.

Mashable.com gets republished about 10,000 times per day.

Do they worry?

Do they care?

No.. they just keep building.

Stop worrying about this and BULK & BUILD.

You can go to google webmaster tools and verify your site url then submit the pages for index.

Sorry you can't force Google to crawl your site now and index the new
content, every SEO would be all over that, all you can do is submit
your URL to Google, you can use your webmaster tools or go here:

http://www.google.com/addurl

And wait for Google to take it's course, get to your site crawl and
Index your changes.

But on the http://www.google.com/addurl page it says

Quote

Google adds new sites to our index, and updates existing ones, every time we crawl the web. If you have a new URL, tell us about it here. We don't add all submitted URLs to our index, and we can't make predictions or guarantees about when or if submitted URLs will appear in our index.

Here is something you can use to put in your htaccess file


RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^123.123.123
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/feed


replace the ip address with the content scraper address
replace the feed with any url you want the scraper to be sent to

I use this a lot

Deny from 123.456.789

Also this works very well when a ip continuously comments on your website, when they have to know good and well that it is not going to be approved. Deny ip will deny access to your url from the ip.

As above, report the entire situation to dmca. Continue to create new posts and get them noticed and SEO them if these pirate sites are not taking advantage of your work anymore. A reconsideration request within google might also be worthwhile.
