Default Website Copied
Hi,
A site I developed for a client has been copied, in fact the only differences are the .org, the address removal and phone number changes.

Anyone got any advice?

thanks,
Michael.

Contact them (If you can). Then contact their host.

What country are they based/hosted in?

Name and shame?

Cheers Redfly,
I'm meeting with the client this week so I'll discuss your suggestions with him.
Here's the site I developed for my client DropBuySell - eBay Drop off Store Belfast and here's the rip off DropBuySell - eBay Drop off Store Belfast

It's pretty blatant!

That's a bit too weird.
The .org is using the .com's CSS file, so if you want to make a point....change the CSS file.

They even have a link back to your site from the .org's footer. Ahh, something strange is going on. It's not your obvious 'i borrowed a bit of this guys website and made my own one' job.

Very strange indeed. I noticed it when I started looking at Google Analytics and I was getting clicks from their site.

Wanna take down their site? Here's what you do:

Duplicate your main css file (includes/stylesheet.css) and call it stylesheet-real.css. Then link your pages on the .com site to it. Leave the other css there but delete everything in it and add this:

body { display: none; }

This will effectively hide the .org site. A nice little bit of payback.

Rgds,

Dave

That's not a bad idea!!!!!

You've got a chance to hit them back as they are hotlinking to you so why not do it!
