    Same proxy that my site has been hijacked by. I have blocked the IP 3 days ago (after great advice from Sweetfunny) but my rankings are still penalised. Did you get a penalty yet?

    For now:
    Block the IP or domain from your control panel on your host.
    File a SPAM report from Webmaster tools ASAP
    Pray

    Thanks Guys

    I just did a Google spam report on this guy I also reported him to some of his affillates as I know the big casinos in the UK at least have no tollerance policy on spam.

    Would be cool if he had some money frozen :)

    The problem i have is that the url that has hijacked my page has not been cached since 9th of Feb. Dont know how much longer it would take to cache it but i am playing with the idea of placing a link in my sig here to the page in the hope that it will get spidered quicker. (now that the IP is blocked). Does anyone have any idea whether that will work?

    I use this script to validate the crawlers of the three major search engines

    <?php
    $ua = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
    if(stristr($ua, 'msnbot') || stristr($ua, 'Googlebot') || stristr($ua, 'Yahoo! Slurp')){
    $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    $hostname = gethostbyaddr($ip);
    if(!preg_match("/\.googlebot\.com$/", $hostname) &&!preg_match("/search\.live\.com$/", $hostname) &&!preg_match("/crawl\.yahoo\.net$/", $hostname)) {
    $block = TRUE;
    header("HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden");
    exit;
    } else {
    $real_ip = gethostbyname($hostname);
    if($ip!= $real_ip){
    $block = TRUE;
    header("HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden");
    exit;
    } else {
    $block = FALSE;
    }
    }
    }
    ?>

    Well, to answer my own question, I have added the link to my sig last night, and lo-and-behold, the proxy was crawled and removed from the index for the terms on my site. Unfortunately, my site still has the penalty. I am completely lost on what to do next. Any updates from your end phoneguy?

    Nope I sent the spam report just have to sit back and wait.

    I only found out I had been hijacked while checking copyscape.com for duplicate content as I had to file 2 DMCA complaints late last year.

    Why is it some guys are so lazy they have to steal from us honest webmasters.

    Hi Guys


    I made a ht.access file like this

    order allow,deny
    deny from 64.72.116.208
    deny from 88.105.61.105
    allow from all

    Well, I have already posted above the necessary solution which won't let your site proxified, but it seems nobody has recognised this:rolleyes:
    Implementing a php script is much better solution than listing a lot of IPs into th .htaccess in my opinion, but of course it is your choice:)
