They have stolen mine, they might have your's too!

The owner of this site seems to be enjoying the hard work that everyone else is prepared to do. They have ripped off at least one of my reviews and may have some of yours:

http://www.extremesoccerbet.com/paddy.html

This is one scraped straight from my site.


The worst thing is they have a network of sites, which may well have other affiliates reviews, guides etc on.

Anyone else come across them?

Have done a whois look up and emailed them. Have lso emailed Paddy Power, although had no response as yet.

Thanks for the heads up. Contact the affiliate program and let them know that your site was scraped by their affiliate. Hopefully they will respond.
Good luck.

Fixed yet? Likely not I suppose.

Kudos to to you Wager for responding now if others would. I guess everyone is just too busy.

No not yet. My two contacts at PP are out of the office. Am going to send an email to the main affiliate contact address.

Sorry brean78 I could have not been of more assistance. I wish you well and good luck.

All the Best

Hi Brean

Cheers

Remember people, copied content makes baby Jesus cry!

Brean,

Not sure if you noticed the URL posted is currently 404. Whoever stolen the content must have changed their mind!

As much as I'm sure Brean appreciates you contacting the affiliate in question, telling someone to remove the content is like telling a thief to return the car he/she just stole.

How many other sites has this person scrapped? Hence I'm wondering why you'd want to do business or associate with an affiliate that steals content? Because if they will steal content then it's a good chance they'll do other dodgy practices as well.

I'd also like to add...Did the thief also have links to the reviewed site?

If so how much revenue did this thief make from the stolen content? If sign-ups occurred then I think it would be fair to give these players to Brean and any commissions earned directly from the stolen content page also.



Cheers
