Are you using Cloudflare too?

I had some domains I bought earlier this year from Namecheap. In my default settings, they were set up to point to Cloudflare's nameservers (I thought they were just going to be parked as I hadn't checked the settings first).

Well, I wasn't ready to use the domains immediately so I didn't add them to my Cloudflare account. My developer was working on some things for me so I wasn't in a rush to use them.

About a month later, I started getting complaints at Namecheap that I had copied other sites. What happened was, because I didn't set these domains up at Cloudflare, Cloudflare just pointed them to random sites in their system so they ended up getting indexed with the content from the other sites. They were appearing as a "masked" domain in the address bar.

So anyway, for what it's worth, this could be what's going on if you are using Cloudflare.

I do not want to remove my web site, this link is only if I want to remove my website in Google Index.

I discovered my site got mirrored 3 times and they are already are ranking with my keywords, what I did is find their IP. I use a site like http://get-site-ip.com/ once you have their IP you can either deny them via htaccess or you can have them serve with different content, here is a sample code.

<?php
$deny = array("x.x.x.x", "x.x.x.x");

if (in_array ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $deny))
{
   //Scrapers will see this.
   header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
   echo "Play fair, you lazy fuck.....\n";
   die();
}
?>

Just replace x.x.x.x with their IP's and add it at the top of index.php whatsoever, since they are scraping your site on the fly via url routing techniques their indexed pages will now be 404 not found with our message when visited, wait for google to pickup the changes and hope they wont notice in time.

As it's on autopliot you should include in every article a prominent line like

your-domain.com is the real deal bla bla bla

You could hide that line with your css / js, by generating a unique css class you add on each page load.

A large ecommerce site did this a few years ago as competitiors start ripping their product descriptions and not cleaning the content properly. To this date you still find shops that have their line in the product descriptions.

Can you tell us which large ecommerce site you are speaking of?

And good stuff Whome. That's a great idea.

This is an interesting thread as I've wondered about cloning as well, but will ask questions in a new thread to avoid off topic.

I use laravel.
When I insert my user url to my database for statistic, there is actually other website link there,
So I check it, and it's content is the very same with me.
It's kinda like their page is request to my web, then show it in their page.
So, I just redirect to my website if the url is not my website

your site could be hacked. did u use some nulled plugins?

yeah, it was redcoon.de - a german seller of electronic products.

I'm not sure if they're still doing this. but i saw that line (der schlaue Kunde weiß: redcoon.com ist besser!) a couple a days ago on some other shop.

CoudFlare is typically pretty receptive to complaints and processes them quickly. A way to expedite this is to hire a web security company and have them submit the complaint. Typically its taken much more serious and gets processed faster (in my experience).

I used a plugin then deleted it, I think since it started.

CloudFlare is blocking the domain, but I want to solve this problem so that in the future they will not be able to clone my web site.

That is really awesome I just googled that line in quotation marks and the amount of shops that come up with this phrase is incredible Even some private seller on ebay simply copied their product descriptions. Really great idea.

I think this is a weakness of wordpress and google.
WordPress and Google should not allow this.

NOO !

This has happened to me. I think you can send a Cease and Disest? Check with the registrar/host where the site that cloned you is located.

u can do it even better....make a p class and a class make them the same color as ur background and write something like "this content is copied from http://www.copiedsite.com".....backlinks on autopilot the IM holy grail.

I even found some products on Amazon that have that line. It's funny that it's still all over the place, and not only for German shops but Austrian and Swiss shops too

I thought I read somewhere that google doesn't like that sort of thing as it might think you're trying to trick a search engine? Can anyone confirm this tactic to discourage cloning would be ok?

 

[laur.laurix]

5 words with the same color as ur background won`t affect ur site. this tactic will not discourage cloning but will provide a good seo boost.
