A couple of nights ago a programmer friend of mine came over and we talked about various solutions, one of which involved aiming the redirect script right back at the pagejackers site. Well, I tried it and it works.

What it does is cause the user's browser to loop, thus making it a problem to click on the redirect link.

I don't know how googlebot would respond to the script, my guess is that it simply ignores it and continues indexing the content as if it were the pagejacker's but at least it makes the pagejacker's site a real nuisance.

What I am wondering about is how Googlebot would interpret the script and if it can be guided to another page (which could be excluded by a robots.txt file) full of spam, perhaps excessive repetition of a keyword or something similar. This way the hijacker's site would be penalized.

Think it might work?
