Hi,I wanted to share something that happened to me so you may learn from it and maybe post your insights on it.I currently run 777.com. I started using the new Links feature in Google's Webmasters Tools and by accident came up with a website (http://plymouthboats.co.uk/) that apparently just copy-pasted stuff from my site.After some testing, I figured out that this site's domain was registered with the same IP address as my own site! This means that going to that site loads EXACTLY the same content from my site, including all the internal pages!The thing is that my web server (Apache 1.3) and my php scripts (Drupal -based) don't block requests from domains other than 777.com. So today when I saw this, I put a rule in my PHP file that prevents serving of requests from domains other than 777.com and instead displays the page you see now when you go to plymouthboats.co.uk.Here's a screenshot of how plymouthboats.co.uk looked like before I put that code: http://www.777.com/files/plymouthboats.co.uk_screenshot.jpgI have a few questions for you:1. How can I report this site to Google as being a spam site?2. The PHP code I wrote doesn't handle cases of accessing images and flash files directly (for example: http://www.777.com/files/plymouthboats. ... enshot.jpg and http://plymouthboats.co.uk/files/plymou ... enshot.jpg). How can I get the same effect in the Apache config file?3. What do you think of the message I put in their site? Should I do anythin else regarding this case?By the way, here's a way you can find site like this that duplicate your own site: take part of your homepage title and search it in google with "intitle:". Here's what you get when you search for my site: http://www.google.com/search?q=intitle%3A%22777.com+-+Gambling+Guide%22Waiting to hear from you guys.I find this absolutly amazing Robert, unbelievable !Glad you sorted it out and thanks for the tip for finding out if I've been duplicated. sorry I don't know who to complain too.Hmm I think this is clever spam, I see its posted in a few other message boards...But thats just my .02Well I WAS planning on posting it in some other forums too so I can get advice from more people, but didn't get a change yet.Are you sure you've seen it in other places?Hi robert_bertram,I have the same problem as you have, but i cant do anything about it,Can i ask you what for rule you use in your php files? i have search on google for a answer but cant find it..Hope you can help and good luck to you..Damien..
