URL Hijacked

[chabbs]

Someone has hijacked my URL. I know that this is new because I have a stat counter installed and today I saw referrals coming from the offending URL. I've sent an e-mail to the webmaster but I haven't received a response yet.

Is there anything that I could do to prevent this site from being indexed in the search engines with my content? If you are interested seeing the offending URl please pm me and I'll send you the link. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Can you please explain exactly what you mean by hijacked? You're saying they hijacked your URL and you're getting referrals from that?

sounds more like a "hotlinking" issue to me...

since he's seeing referrals...

When you land on his domain you see my site and when you click on the links it remains on his domain, well it appears to remain on the domain. I know that he's using a 302 redirect because I did a server header check and it comes back as a 302. Then my pages remain in a frame because whatever link you click on remains on his domain, for example: www.hisdomain.com and never leaves that domain. When you click on view > source it shows a masked page.

What I mean by seeing a referral is; because the stat counter code remains on the pages I actually see people being referred to his domain.

I offered providing the link by private message so that whoever is knowledgable about these types of situations may see exactly what he's doing.

ok, the issue has been resloved. The domain owner was not aware that he was doing it.

Glad to hear it was resolved. How was he unintentionally doing this?

The way this guy had it set up you would think he was a pro. He didn't even know what a 302 redirect was.

We have an affiliate program and this man didn't exactly know how it worked. He used a parked domain and forwarded it using the affiliate URL. The registrar that he was using allows you to mask the domain and so in that area he used a <FRAME SRC=""> to get information from another URL where he had copied my home page. So when you landed on the offending URL it used a frame from another URL and whenever you clicked any link on that home page it stayed within the frame of that domain.
