Hello all,
My site is one with good authority and highly competitive within my industry. Over the past 2 weeks traffic has dropped to the pages for one of the brands we stock and we have found that when you search for that term, our page title and meta description appears but with a different URL.
Once you click on this URL you are redirected to another page which sells fake goods of this particular brand. The original URL you see in the SERPs is a very spammy blog which has lots of links to various similar sites to the secondary page and was clearly created for this purpose. They have essentially copied our HTML, presented it to Google but none of our content appears on their pages.
Our dedicated brand URL has been knocked out of the SERPs, hense the reason for the drop. We have taken various actions including reworking the structure of our brand pages for the one in question, reporting the spam sites through Chrome and simply waited.
After a few days it dropped off but still existed if you searched deep enough then yesterday it changed to a different URL of a site completely legit and that had no idea how it had happened. It has now changed back to the first spam site.
Does anyone have any idea of how to solve this problem and return my page back to it's previous position?
