spam sites have spawned on google

    I was just checking google for occurrences of pages that contain my url, or “mysite.com” (not to be confused with back links or “link:www.mysite.com").

    There has been a MASSIVE increase in pages that contain my url. Almost 14,000 according to google.

    After checking into this, I discovered the majority of these are due to many unique sites such as those listed below. :mad: :mad: You can see that they are clearly unique because of the highly coded and unusual gibber jabber domain name ;)

    7004.oqfa7.info/
    365.dh6b3.info/
    644.xl56y.info/
    3944.pmond.info/
    13410.ben.9zjc2.info/
    651.xl56y.info
    3680.pmond.info/

    When I checked these sites (not one of the pages were cached btw) my site url was not to be found. I noticed about 10 of these type sites listed about 6 months ago, now it appears they are reproducing out-of-control

    So I’m assuming these are scrapers? I don’t really understand the purpose behind this crap, but I’m mostly worried if all these garbage sites can hurt my sites position, ranking, or something even worse. Would you be concerned?

    Also none of these sites are listed on yahoo or msn, this is happening on google only

    Thanks for your thoughts.

    I'm not exactly sure what is going on either. Google has been sending me traffic through sites like this on my adwords account, and charging me $ for the clicks.
