I've just noticed that <snip> a site added one of my most popular section on their site. This thing looks like this:

[<snip>...]

What will this do? Will they get hits from my keywords (for example, I have www.mysite.com/videography, keywords would be mysite+videography )?

What can I do?

Hello

On link: www.theirsite.com/www.mysite.com/mysection/ , they have commercials and link to my site. They didn't steal any content, they only used two of my popular keywords ( "mysite" & "mysection" ) as their url.

So, id like to know if someone enters mysite+mysection in search engine, will they get their site besides mine?

Thanks for help;)

Defintely somebody may find them using "your" keywords.

Using or not using the whole "www.yoursite.com" as part of their URL is really not the reason of why they would outrank you anyway.

If you have a trademark on "yoursite" you may have a way to stop them doing so. But even in that case, I don't know of a case of using someoneelse trademark in either a subdomain or a subdirectory being sued.
