Why do people rip off your site? This is bizzare!
 

I was looking through my referrers for my link list, and found a site I didn't recognize, http://www.veryhardlinks.com/

I clicked on the link, and did a double take, he copied my entire index page, title tags, metatags, etc. of my old design, (just changed yesterday to what it looks like now) left all my affiliate codes, and links to sub pages on my site. :disgust

Its some webmaster out of Glasgow, according to Whois, that I've never heard of.

Why would someone do something like this? It can't benefit them at all, everything points back to my site. :helpme

some people just truly lack any brains :2 cents:

I'm thinking you are right, lol.

doesn't he know working for free upsets all the current pay scales

One of the sponsors I promote decided to copy the galleries I made to promote them as they converted better, I was flattered though also upset that they never asked me to just build them some :(

That sucks, all your work for nothing, and makes your stuff no longer unique.

I haven't posted in forever, why do I have an ad to Niched Sites in my profile, and the rest of you don't? Is it because I don't post enuf?

I always love it when people steal my stuff, and forget to take out my codes. It's almost as if you can see the karma in action!

I'll have to look for the one that ripped off red cherry, it was bad, lol.

Here it is http://www.drcamshow.com/free-online-cam-shows.html they pulled that big box of links, all my affiliate codes, plus my banner rotator, so you KNOW that has all my codes, lol. It soooo doesn't match the rest of the site. I found this one from referrer stats for topbucks. I was going to change out the banners to something evil, then thought, wtf it is free advertising for my sponsors. Not sure what country this webmaster is from, what is IL?

It is part of the skin. . . every 3 posts or something

thanks Baddog!

Send him a big thank you card.

But it makes me realise that what I am doing must work - or they would not copy ;)
