Question for the smart ones - GoFuckYourself.com

Hi

I have a .com domain which I registered. Someone else registered the .org domain.
Now this guy has copied my entire page on his .org domain.
When I change something on my .com domain the changes are automatically made on the .org domain. So this guy made some work out of it.
But if you click on the join button on the org domain it points to the signup page on my .com domain.

Why does this person do that ? My sales went down dramatically the last 3 months with the same amount of traffic. I always thought this was of bad economy now I am wondering if this guy is stealing.
So anybody have any ideas why this guy is copying my whole site like this ?

Bizzare, with letting you get the signups... Basically he's supplying you BW.

Interesting.

Maybe he is selling something on his site that he is hoping to offset your anger by sending you the sign ups?

Other affiliate offers, Zango, advertising based on traffic.... Hard to know without seeing the sites. But my guess is by sending you the sign ups, you will not bother going after him for whatever else s/he has going on.

He probably has not changed the sign up button;

1. he doesn't want to get paid as it would leave a paper trail

2. he forgot or doesn't know how.
