Where and how to check the status of your DMCA application at Google Webmasters-DMCA Dashboard

If you have been in the field of publishing original content online or in simple terms blogging actively for sometime now and more importantly have attracted the attention of numerous readers by your good quality content and high authority website, then you must have faced situations where people copy your content.

It is no different for me and especially since I work on revenue sharing website as a Manager where I am responsible for checking other people's article for copied content and other Google Webmaster quality guidelines I come across many such instances where I find other people copying the content from our authors. Now, since we have to approve the articles at our sites and we face some practical problems due to which we can't rely on our authors to file the DMCA with Google correctly, we Managers ourselves file the DMCAs as legal representatives of the owner of this website.

Now, the problem I used to face was that sometimes there was no reply mail from Google's side and I would get stuck about the status of my application. I had seen the Dashboard of Google and I knew that I could find the status of my application there but the problem was how to open that Dashboard. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find the link to the Google DMCA Dashboard anywhere. I need to add here that I did not remember the word "Dashboard" while searching for it and was typing sentences in Google search like "DMCA Google status" "Status of Google DMCA application" "Copy complain Google DMCA status" and a few more search terms like this but was not able to find it. I even searched the Webmaster tools of Google but even that does not contains the link to it.

Anyhow, just out of nowhere I luckily remembers the word "Dashboard" and when I typed "Google DMCA Dashboard", the link to the page came as the first result. So I thought why not to help my fellow bloggers in finding this precious page easily and free them from the struggle of finding this page. So here is the link to the page of Google DMCA Dashboard which if will find useful now or later if you continue to follow you passion of blogging and continue creating original and quality content for your readers.
