Other AS site using my content in frame

How do I stop them?

[Lagamorph]

So there's this site that has tons of links of amusing stuff. When you click those links it displays that page in a frame staying on their site so they can run ads on your content. They are linking to one of my pages with AS on it and a movie basically running their ads on my bandwidth. I got a $500 overage bill when they first linked me!

I have written them, their host, their registrar etc... but they continue. It changes the context of my ads to their keywords and they have the gall to display my copyright in the captured frame and run their ads on top of it. I'm sure Google doesn't allow this but I'm not sure what's the best way to aproach them about it. My main fear is I don't want to trigger anything that would get me banned or some other unlikely paranoid outcome.

Any suggestions on how to approach Google? Also it sometimes dispays other ads and not AS so a link to the problem may not show their AS.

I did consider that I might actually be making money from them because of the traffic and have set up a channel to watch their domain but I don't think I'm making anything.

Thanks for any help, I've been learning a lot here :)

Google probably didn't want to be put in the position of interpreting what constitutes "fair use" (especially in the absence of a DMCA complaint

I agree. I was hoping that they were going to enforce their Adsense TOS regarding MFA

milanmk,

Thanks, I put the script in and it worked for me!

That helps me a lot.

Some day I'll be able to return the favor, likely not with coding help LOL.

Your help was right on the money. That's the great thing I see about this forum there are good tips from people!

Cheers
Rob

Said " One thing to be aware of:

Framebreaking code can interfere with other ads on your site. If you're using display-ad code from an ad network or any other third-party ad server, test carefully before implementing the framebreaking code throughout your site. ""
*******
I kept that in mind and i have put the frame breaker code on pages with content and adsense only for now, which were the ones being copied and framed.

Thanks for the heads up advice!

As a side note. It's interesting that the pages of my site that other sites were framing have the the highest paying clicks and CTR for my niche anyway. I do believe that my CTC on those pages is a result good content matched to good targetting of ads.

I was kind of feeling used and abused. I am far from a big player in the publisher world. Yet I think someone checked the keywords and bid rates then tried to use my stuff. Grrrr!

Is there an easy way to find out if anyone is framing your site(s)?

Yes. You can check your server logs and scrutinise referers with direct page requests.
