    I can't figure out what is going on here.

    This is my website ---> www.danielmillions.com

    Now look at this website ---> www. easyseeking.info

    It's a copy of mine, I know that much.

    When I look at my stats for refering sites for the last few hours I see this...

    [​IMG]

    But my actual hits are only 3-4, is this guy stealing my traffic some how?

    I can't figure out what is going on.

    I checked the whois and the website was just created on Jan. 30

    The website has no pages indexed or backlinks that I can see. So how are people finding that website?

    Please Help,
    Daniel

    I actually purchased a custom skin from what I thought was a seasoned member on DP. When installing it he zapped my entire database (wasn't really that big). Being a new directory at the time I had not created a backup data base.

    I have since then played with the design a little bit myself and spent my time building backlinks. I have not decided if I am going to have another skin installed.

    I figured I would wait until I have a new skin up or decided exactly what I am going to do before I open it back up for free submissions on DP again. You can see that the few featured listings I did have are still up because I was able to check my Paypal account and manually add them again.

    Nothing was intentional and I don't appreciate you trying to call me out and make me look like the bad guy.

    Mods please close this thread as the website issue has been resolved.

    Thank You,
    Daniel

    This being a phpLD v3, I will be happy to help you take these people down. I need you to pm me on my forum with your phpLD username from your purchase, and we start the process of taking them down. We've been successful in taking down many pirated sites (not 100%) but we have a pretty high success rate.

    Thanks Dvduval but the website owner was sent an email and he decided it was in his best interest to take the website down.

    I appreciate you jumping and offering the help though.

    Thank You

    We have a number of tools at our disposal to deal with people who are dishonest or victims of dishonesty, and appreciate your help in finding and stopping pirate sites. As I said, we have already taken a couple down permanently.
