    I guess you mean, because if there are more directories, there are more places to get backlinks from, right? Well consider this: if the directories are duplicates of each other, only one copy will be indexed by the search engines. This sort of copying also discourages investment in directories in general, because the people who create the intellectual property end up messing around chasing low-lifes instead of building their directories up. They also risk losing revenue to these guys, after doing all the hard work of building up a site and a brand.

    If people can get away with passing off other people's hard work as their own, we all lose.

    Sort of know how you feel. I was rather disappointed when someone from this forum used my domain name minus the s! But you learn .. I'm lucky because I'm not using a script since I've coded the site from scratch plus my site is rather different.

    Hope it gets sorted out.

    sorry to hear that serg, i've had many people modify my free templates after google cached their site and i see that they have done it but it seems like you have no way of taking care of it.
