Another evil web proxy

    I noticed my pages listed in Google under jayuz.com. It turned out to be another evil proxy. The URL listed in Google looks like this:

    http: //www.jayuz.com/proxy/nph-proxy.cgi/000123A/http/www. yourdomain.com

    In the last few hours this proxy wasn't too responsive - only every other request is coming through. The domain doesn't have an MX record and is resolved as a single IP address - 69.46.0.40. They use the same address to get to your website; blocking it will prevent them from showing your content under their URL.

    What was the query, what is your url?

    PM me if you do not wish to post. This sounds similar to a 302 redirect bug hijack, sure would like to check it out.

    It's not the usual 302 redirect, in their case they actually place a request to your website, pull the data, add their ads and show this to the visitor. So, the URL stays the same and as far as Google is concerned, it's their content.

    Is it affecting your rankings?

    I had a site frame me, and was worried that the content may be seen as their own. In the recent BL update, I found it counting as a backlink, so I am now okay with it.

    It may - pages they serve are just like your pages, but served under their URL. Google claims to take into consideration document creation date, which theoretically should protect the original document from the duplicated content penalty. Practically, though, I can't say what may come out of it.

    Another thing is that the fact that their page does appear in the index doesn't do any good to anybody - it just takes up a spot somebody else's legitimate page could take. Now, multiply the number of pages they serve and you get the idea of how bad these guys are.
