Unauthorised Site Linking

[crossrock]

Help Please!

What is happeneing to my site?
There are two Chinese sites with forwarding to my site and I don't know why.
There does not seem to be any reason for them to do it but I have suspended ordering until I can resolve the problem.
My site is www.napkinhook.co.uk
The two sites linking to mine are www.fksese.cn and www.fkuuu.com

I have added the following .htaccess file to the acatalog directory and this prevents does not completely stop their access. Our first page comes up incomplete.

How do I stop them completely?

Any comments on why they are trying this?

.htaccess file:-

<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>



<Limit GET HEAD POST>
order allow,deny
deny from fkuuu.com
deny from fksese.cn
allow from all
</LIMIT>

Moderators - might be an idea to remove the chinese sites rather than give them a nice web ref in here.

Regards,

[Mike Hughes]

I don't see any links Jan, just the text. Do you?

Mike

[Jan]

I was under the impression that even a text link could be picked up.

It's odd though because those sites don't seem to be be linking to the main site, they seem to be copies of them.

Regards,

[g11ary]

is there a way that you ca check who links to your site other than going to all your competitors and looking?

[Duncan Rounding]

Google:
link:www.myURL.xxx

will give you an indication

[Darren B]

Gremlins messing with the posts

[crossrock]

Tried the Google link:www.myurl.xxx for all three url's and they did not show anything relevant.

Have I got my .htaccess file correct? Should I put it in the root?

David

[Jan]

The basket links still go to your site.

Regards,

[crossrock]

Also, the other sites are not copies I don't think. I can upload changes to my site and immediately the changes are shown on the imposter sites.

David,
Can I ask how you came across the other sites- were they noted in your stats, or did you find them another way? They seem to be mirroring your site which is rather strange...
Hello by the way (Ben from TKC)

Hi Ben,
Haven't spoken to you for a long time!!
I first noticed this prob. from Google Alerts which tells me about things connected to my site. It flags other sites etc and found one of the Chinese sites. I then found on my Site stats and on "Google Analytics" a huge increase in traffic coming from China - all over.
I don't have time to look at these things every day! and this started in early June, since then the hits have dropped. I can't see a reason for them targetting us. Perhaps to get C/Card info, if this is possible, but most people I have talked to think it unlikely that they have managed to interfere with our server directories.

David

[Fairyglass]

Hi David,
I've been keeping a low profile! Thanks for the info, I'll check my sites also. Sorry I've no suggestions for you, but I wish you well resolving the problem.
All the best,
Ben

It's odd though because those sites don't seem to be be linking to the main site, they seem to be copies of them.

Regards,

It seems to me that they are only copying/mirroring the home page - if you go to product level you revert to the OP site, hence the Chinese sites are linking to the product pages. If changes are made to the product pages then they will be reflected in the Chinese site simply because the visitor is actually coming back to the OP site. Would be interesting to see how quickly changes to the OP home page would be reflected.

[Mark H]

I think you have a IP and/or server issue here. Take a look at the following:

http://whois.domaintools.com/napkinhook.co.uk

and:

http://whois.domaintools.com/fkuuu.com

The two sites are shown as having the same IP Address and are shown as being in the same server location in Scottsdale, Arizona (GoDaddy.com)

Good luck!
