Legitimate site bumped from Google by content-stealer

    Hello,

    I run the site myadopts.com, which was recently bumped from Google's index due to another site copying the text of our home page onto their website.

    If you search Google for "myadopts.com" the imposter's site is the first result, which Google managed to index even though it doesn't appear to be a legitimate link. Before this my site's homepage, myadopts.com/index.php was the first result if you search for myadopts.com, as well as other keywords that the imposter now ranks first in. My site is no longer listed for the keywords for which it used to be first for.

    I've tried reporting the site as well as changing my site's homepage content, neither of which after a few days has gotten the site re-listed on Google. Google still indexes other parts of my site, such as the forums, but not the main site anymore.

    Any tips? Thanks. :)
