Seriously, the rejection procedure is heartbreaking. They should clearly mention which rule is broken by us. Moreover, i agree that they want inspiring and creative articles around ' starting keywords'. As everyone can have different opinions and thoughts about any keyword.

Can someone tell me if I should delete my post if there is a plagiarism issue? Accidentally I got to know that my words match with some other write-ups elsewhere. Should I delete the post on a whole or change the words? Confused because I have submitted that port already for the contest!

Arunima, if you have never seen the other article before, and by coincidence some language matches, then it is not plagiarism. Keep it. Otherwise, delete it.

THIS IS SHOCKING!! BIGGEST case of plagiarism I have EVER seen in my life!! Can't beleive I am experiencing this. Frown

MOST of my posts (including titles and content) have been plagiarised and reproduced: :'(

Here I am going crazy with dark circles and what not to write for this campaign and it is really sad to see my ideas and content being copied and reproduced like this!!

Please see this post: http://www.stilettomaniac.com/2016/01/five-fantastico-ways-to-get-rid-of.html

Now the plagiarised post: http://fewmomentstocherish.blogspot.in/2016/02/fantastico-ideas-to-come-out-of-writers-block.html

HOW MANY LINKS SHOULD I INCLUDE? I have written 75+ posts for this campaign and I DON'T want to spam this thread with links. 

I feel like laughing and crying at the same time. How can one blogger do this to another blogger? I am leaving this on the IndiTeam to decide whether this is acceptable and ethical.

This is really bad. And I'm sure there is much more going on, undiscovered.

Bushra I can understand your pain..It is not good..I have not gone through the copied posts so I can't comment that whether the entire posts have been copied. Copying ideas is not plagiarism, but rewriting the entire content is considered as plagiarism as per the law. This Marathon is making people crazy as some are thinking that only quantity can make them win. I hope you won't get disappointed and will keep posting best posts :-) .

Hey Bushra, I think that person has stolen your ideas with little modifications in words. Have you found that person yet?

Bushra M

She is an Indiblogger member Arpita. https://www.indiblogger.in/sujatha

Copying ideas ("taking inspiration") is a different thing but here, this is repeating again and again and this can't be just a coincidence or a simple "insipration gathering". Like for example, I took a look at the first two posts and both the posts have been built the same way, it's just a spinoff of words in the second blog that makes it somewhat different. The biggest thing, why do this for a contest when you don't really have malicious intentions?

The Peppy Fashion post too is just same. Both the posts talk about Sonam kapoor, just the second blogpost does some modifications by changing to synonyms like diva in place of icon, icon in place of legend and so on.

To me, this looks like a clear case of Shameless Plagiarism, irrespective of who is behind the second blog.

Hey! All popular blogs face this. Don't worry. Google surely knows which is original and which is fake. There's no contact us page and details of author mentioned in the duplicate blog. These blogs will surely be removed from search engine in the next update. Stay cool, just have fun. Such blogs never earn money or audience. They are destined to fade away. Also use Copyscape service for preventing plagiarism. I know it hurts Frown

I have realized that this marathon is actually degrading the quality of the content that is being posted now. Some are just cooking up a blog from different sources and posting them online just to remain on top. We should actually have a balanced approach.....

(my personal view, no offence to any one)

I discovered this while skimming through the latest Tata Zica marathon entries. I know Plagiarism is an issue and Google will take care of it but I have included this here because she is posting these plagiarised entries as a part of this marathon. This is her Indiblogger profile: https://www.indiblogger.in/sujatha

Bushra. u have ntn to worry. 

first thing IB checks is plagiarism. not within IB but alo in the entire web. So they'd reject her post immediately or probably even ban her from the community :)

btw, see you at the top of the board :P hahaha

Don't feel bad Bushra. Indi team will take care of these. The ideas have been copied very shamelessly. I wonder how Arpita was thinking of getting away with this. Maybe she is a newbie and doesn't understand that this is unforgivable in the blog world.

Arpita Dash

Hi anupam joseph... That's not me... That newbie is Sujatha.

that was a punctuation miss from Bushra when she was replying to Arpita. read her comment clearly.

it's someone else by the name of Sujata

Out of 9 posts written by me, 4 rejected and none approved it. I have been writing from 5 years + and have taken part in many Indiblogger contests. I think this Marathon will reward those who will write high quality posts even if it is only 20/30. If you really want to win this Marathon, then write 40/50 posts having focus on grammar and quality. This Marathon is going to be a learning lesson for many of us. Strict checking will ensure that only the high quality posts get approved. Cool I always love Indiblogger as it has been an important part of my blogging journey.

@Karthik Murali H ... Please notice , it's not " Sujata " , My blog's name is " Spirit Of Mumbai  . The one who is allegedly plagiarising according to Bushra is " Sujatha " her blog's name is "fewmomentstocherish"

Haven't received any mail for rejection or acceptance of my posts yet! Does this mean the moderators still have to go through my posts...*hoping so* or that my entries just evaporated somewhere *paranoid* :D

Yes, that's true. You will get a mail in both the cases.

Almost of my 10 submitted posts are getting rejected. Why? Because it seems that I have not embedded the required HTML script. Funnily, I have. RENIE, could you please respond?

Karthik Murali H
from Chennai
8 years ago

I found the issue for rejection. Its because its coming as a text instead of a link.

You should check the HTML portion. probably see any of our posts towards the end , and you'll notice it comes as a "Link" to tata's page and IB's page and instead of appearing as a HTML text with <>

hope that helps

SUJATA TAWDE

Hi Haimanti and others, whoever is facing html link problem , just copy and paste these lines at the end of your blog-post 

#TataZicaMarathon 

This blog post is inspired by the blogging marathon hosted on IndiBlogger for the launch of the #Fantastico Zica from Tata Motors. You can  apply for a test drive of the hatchback Zica today.

While adding HTML codes, you should use source view instead of Design view. You should switch over to source tab and add the code.

or you can add the content without link and then add links manually.

Renie, the ranking algorithm has an issue. Atul was on 85. I was on 84. I posted and equalled him to 85. Now i am in 2nd and he's in 3rd

Technically he should be ahead due to earlier posting. Pls look into it

Aditya

You are right Kathik. Earlier, I was on 48 and Amar was on 47 he wrote one more entry and was ahead of me. Now, I am at 49 let's see waht happens now.
