I also changed the title of my index page, and put 301 redirects on several pages before this happened.

I found a cloaking checker that does give you the html of the pages it's looking at. When I used "Googlebot" as the user agent the only differences I could find was that Googlebot doesn't see one of two cookies, and that is the tracking cookie. Of course, I don't know if Google doesn't see any tracking cookies, or just in this case. Also, Googlebot doesn't get the mySQL database error. Anybody?

I checked lots of the sites that this directory links to earlier, but I could never find any other instance of hijackings. Just my site.

Today, the other site still shows up in Google when searching for my domain name. I did try the Google URL remover, but it said it couldn't remove it because it's a live link.

Since the site removed the link when I asked them to, and the link and cached pages of my site disappeared shortly thereafter, I can't see filing a DMCA complaint. There is no cache when searching for a domain name, and when you try to get any page that doesn't exist on the server of the directory that linked to me, you get the same page that is showing up when you search my domain name. It seems to me my problem is now solely with Google still showing that site instead of mine when searching for my domain name, and I don't know how to make it go away since Google won't help.
