If you want to clone a site yourself;

#1 Setup nginx on port 80; apache on 81.
#2 Install http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/proxy.html
#3 Install http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_sub_module.html
#4 Take URI of request and request via proxy to target
#5 Substitute the response with your own domain in nginx
#6 ????
#7 Profit.

If should note; you'll be using proxypass in nginx to call apache but you are able to handle the response in nginx in variables; you can't easily in apache.

I used to do this ^_^. pick up some awesome website, then change a little bit,(replace the logo and ads to my own). now I quit ,for this kind of mirror website never get traffic from google.

No, op said that site was mirrored. Basically it's still op's site, but under different domain.

Yeah... if you have the backup of someone's site you can get the same exact site on a different domain

It's so obvious that you are not an expert. I love people complaining about stupidness while being stupid themselves

I feel for you, OP. Same thing has just happened to one of my websites. They registered the same domain name as mine but with a different extension and just cloned my whole website. Their site redirects to one of the major online outlets, which I presume they are an affiliate for. Doing some research into who has done this has yielded some interesting results.

Report his site to google, it will get deindexed

 

[Terminal15]

he might have used https://www.httrack.com/ it mirrors the entire site

it is no hack,no backdoors but a little tool which can copy all your domain and files

Look for "Registrar Abuse Contact Email" and send them an email

This is worse than black hat, this is super dark black hat methods! screw him for mirroring your site like this.. wtf!

So how does it work in terms of the new content showing up on the mirrored site? If I understood this correct even new content is mirrored.. so is his site periodically being accessed to get the updated copy? That is the part I don't understand

OP's post doesn't say that new content is showing up. Just comments. Comments are kind of plugin-dependent right? So he probably kept the ID the same so that's why they show up on both sites.

New posts aren't showing up on the mirrored site.
