Has someone stolen my site?

    Hi

    Can someone explain what is happening here? I have a blog (click 'latest blog link) and today whilst looking through my logs I found this site http:// ssdm.blogspot.com. At first glance it appears that someone has just copied the whole content, but then every link goes to my site, and so I guess it might just be a wrapper of some kind.

    Why would someone do this? What are they doing?

    Do they use your Adsense id? If not then they may be trying to use your content to make money on Adsense.

    Hi

    I thought that immediately and emailed google adsense reporting the site, but then I viewed the source and its my adsense ID (so now waiting for my account to be frozen ;) ). I can only guess that they have copied the source to use the theme or styling for some reason, but I can't see how that would work without inserting the blogspot code to display content, which is loads more work than just editing the blogspot css.

    I emailed google and asked them to help. Very strange.

    They're probably trying to dissect the site to figure out how it's put together.
