I've Been Cloaked in Google SERPs

    I checked my site stats on Google, and noticed an odd similarity:

    Another site has added their url to my domain name, and reached the top of Google SERPs. Not sure how this happened.

    Check it out for yourself

    My normal domain is www.investortrip.com; the cloaker setup up this URL: tc2en.mojolingo.com.tw/m2m-0000/www.investortrip.com

    How do I put a stop to this? or will Google figure out who's the real deal?

    Another thing you can do is if you know that sites IP address is block it from your server within your IP deny manager.

    It's actually called hijacking. Cloaking is something entirely different.

    There is some good info here on the topic (and no it is not my blog :D ).

    Madgenius -i took your advice and blocked the ip address. Search referralls are beginning to come in as normal.

    longcall- great resource. Now I understand what happened. my next question is why does Google let this crime occur?!?

    Eh that's not really a crime. It's a technical glitch from Google's side. They should fixt it soon. For example I had this problem myself with 2 of my websites. I have a web site A then I redirected the domain name of the second website B to A. For approx. 6 months google did not index any pages in A and even the page rank was taken from B as belonging to A. That was the point I discovered myself there is a glitch in Google's algorithms.
