Content is King

Content is King! It's a common mantra you hear when you ask what's important when you are building a website. Search engines love content. Another great thing about content is, if it's really useful, interesting or compelling people will link to it. Well what if you've gone through all of the trouble to write unique original and compelling content, how do you stop someone from stealing it? Well the first step is catching them. Copyscape.com can help you do just that. You give it a URL and it searches Google's index to find duplicate pages. In fact they even give you information on how to better protect your work and what to do when it is copied without your permission (link).
