Stealing Key Words / Phrases / Titles?

[AcesHigh]

I have done mass search engine submissions world wide.
I have noticed some websites take the information and somehow use it in their own website.
Example: I can go to searchit directory and search my actual domainname.com and i get not only my site but numerous sites that have NOTHING to do with the keywords, descriptions or title of mine. Yet their site shows up.
I have seen on numerous occasions , doing the marketing analysis on my own domains I find some domains "stealing" possibly my domain/webpage/website info automated it seems.
Its like the website takes in any new domains then adds it to its own code. So when people look for my domain.com in google for my trucking business, it shows up in some travel agency website orbitz (and others)yet there is no words whatsoever close to my domain name.
Are companies running some sort of code that takes in information and creates some sort of hidden tags on their own pages? I think this should be illegal if this is what they are doing. How can they take my company domain name, and make it look like its theirs.?
Anyone know what IM talking about? its hard to explain a bit.

AcesHigh,

A few months ago, when I searched Google for my site by the site title, about 20 other sites were in the SERPs as well, none of them had anything to do with the search. The keywords I searched for showed up in the Google description (and probably in the cache as well), but when I went to any of these sites, they all redirected me to the same porn site.

I haven't seen these listed for about two months.. it seems to have been temporary.

Oh great, maybe i will get some calls from some busty blonde babes wanting to audition for web hosting :) lol.
I cant believe they can do this. That should be 100% illegal. Its kinda like a defamtion of business /character kinda isnt it?

I dont know what to say but it piZZez me off to see other companies wanting to reap the rewards from other peoples websites / and word content like that.

A bit confused by what it is that is going on. You do a search for your domain.com and other sites come up as you? Not sure if you are referring to this, but I know there are programs that capture info from pages of similar sites and use that info to create pages for themselves. The information is usually re-formatted, but there is usually no reference to the sites info was gathered from.

Exactly. This is exactly what I am talking about. Sites just have the information of my site within their pages hidden. My domain.com information ends up on joesdomain.com, i cant see the information in any way view source etc, but the search engines say its a match lol.

GRRRR that makes me mad lol.

A lot of these sites do cloaking. They will show you, a user browsing their site, one thing; and they will show Googlebot something else. This will obviously get them into trouble with the SEs once they're found out.

Yes, eventually they may get caught and banned but these people could care less. They just go get another whole slew of domains and do it again. It is sickening.

[AcesHigh]

Ahh yes. This is exactly what I am talking about, and it is exactly what I presumed. If I see this again soon I will report it. Thanks for your feedback guys.

You would be surprised how often my wife and I receive very similar propositions. I'd say an average of once a week but not always from blondes. ;)
