Is this guy an amazon poacher?

    Is america.gotdns.com poaching off of amazon sites? I was searching MSN for my new site and found my site mentioned there. When I clicked it just went to his amazon site. My site is framed in a wordpress blog. I'd bet that has something to do with how he was able to capture my search or something.

    How did he do it? How do I prevent it in the future? Anyone know? Rep+ for real answers!

    I have no idea, but that site looks iffy, I wouldn't ever click anything or buy anything from there.

    Well, if you have an amazon store, do some searches and see if something comes up about your site on this site that looks compelling. With me, it showed my site name and store name.

    I don't know the hows and ifs. I just know that I found this site by looking for links to one of my astores. It showed up in the SERP description for the site, but when I clicked it, my info was nowhere to be found.

    I'm asking how they do it.
