So, now, the dilemna. I have now found two sites that have copied nearly every page of my site word for word. One even went so far as to register a similar domain, and use the same font colors, etc. They are both are running Adsense, as am I. Both of these sites appear to not know how to generate traffic (yet), so their traffic is probably super low.

So, I am very tempted to report them, but given the decent revenue I generate from AS myself, I am leery of possible backlash by the owners of these sites. My concerns are in regards to retaliation- through the form of clicking repeatedly on my site ads, etc. to try to get me cancelled as well.

And hence, the dilemna - These sites are both nuisances at best, but very blatantly ripped off my site. They should be punished - AS should definitely cancel their accounts. But, is reporting them worth the risk of possible cancellation myself, as a result of their likely underhanded retaliation?
