    Default GPWA Copied.. worst spammy link ever

    Just going through my backlink profile and found this... of all the clones.. this is the worst.. perhaps someone here can fix it.. I have disavowed the said domain anyhow xxx.vuvuzela-time.co.uk/www.gpwa.org

    My mistake it's not a copy-- but it is an annoying useless dofollow backlink that adds a stupid frame around the site with that horrible noise

    I am not sure what these guys are doing but it appears you can add any domain to their domain and get the same noise.

    Not sure why when adding the gpwa it mirrors the site in a frame or whatever, but we shall look into it.

    Whatever they are doing, they are jerks for sure.

    xxx.vuvuzela-time.co.uk/google.com
    xxx.vuvuzela-time.co.uk/facebook.com
    xxx.vuvuzela-time.co.uk/gamblingcommission.gov.uk

    None of the above sites came in but the ones below did.


    There is actually one in particular that I do hope sees this.
    xxx.vuvuzela-time.co.uk/bing.com
    xxx.vuvuzela-time.co.uk/ibm.com
    xxx.vuvuzela-time.co.uk/nag.co.in
    xxx.vuvuzela-time.co.uk/anonhq.com
    xxx.vuvuzela-time.co.uk/microsoft.com

    Can't see them getting away with this for much longer, certainly with a .co.uk domain - can see Nominet bringing down the ban hammer.

    Honestly, sometimes it's really hard to understand why some people do what they do. What is the point of someone doing this? Anyway, this is why all my sites have a break-out-of-frames script.

    Unfortunately, now break-out-of-frames scripts do not protect, if the iframe contains an HTML5 attribute "sandbox".
    Safer to use the header "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN" or "X-Frame-Options: DENY".

    PHP code:
    header("X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN");

    I agree with you. I don't get why someone would copy someone elses work. Let's be honest, they surely should know that they're going to get their site shut down within a few weeks or even days, depending on how quick it's found.
