    servepics.com? wtf is going on here?

    i just noticed that i have suddenly started taking on hits at my youngerhoneys.com site from youngerhoneys.servepics.com, which when i visit seems to go straight to my site. it isn't a mirror or anything, it actually points to my ip and everything. when i update my site, that url updates too.

    thing is this, i never set that account up at all. i can't find out anything about servepics.com and i really have no clue why someone would do this. whats wrong with my perfectly good domain? why would someone want to do this? for the moment i don't care, as i am getting some extra hits, and my affiliate codes are all still intact, but it just doesn't make sense.

    my brother brought up the idea that someone might be using my work to build up incoming traffic to that address then using it for some other purpose, but that sounds a little flakey to me. doe sanyone have any thoughts?

      youngerhoneys.servepics.com and youngerhoneys.com show different IPs for me.

      youngerhoneys.com: 64.15.130.247
      youngerhoneys.servepics.com: 204.16.252.98

      It's a copy, you can see the titles are different.

        kind of a cybersquatting

        they do that to 50000000000 domains and hopefully score some
        sites where people type in the title or domain title and theyre
        link comes up to 1-10 on the search results

        eventually they'll start redirecting and doing other stuff, its a copy now, because they are usign your content to get indexed

            whois turned up an email address which went absolutely nowhere, i can't seem to make any contact, is there any other way i can find out who is doing this? i guess i'm gonna have to gun for their host. there's no way i'm letting some asshole cash in on my work.

            as for whoever is doing it, i'm guessing they probably hang out here on the forum, so a big FUCK YOU to whoever my squatter is...

                already lodged my complaint, already been in contact with No-IP's staff, things should be taken care of by now. Thanks though...

                  lol, I'd say that's been taken care of.
