They are also using your affiliate link and they are linking to other pages too. Could be automated because no affiliate who wants to make money would do such thing.

Hi. Please write a full list of copied pages to slotstory0 @ gmail.com and they will be erased immediately.

Why are you scraping other peoples content? Maybe you should delete it all.

This website even has a DMCA seal in the footer. What a joke ... Protect the stolen content from being copied by others

I have 1000+ slot reviews... are you serious? you know it's a good enough reason to get your site dei-ndexed with a manual penalty right?

Unfortunately this is what happens when CMS's like WP etc, allow the masses (without any programming skills) to throw up a site. In cases such as this, ethics and respect for other affiliate's hard-work, means nothing.

sorry for inconvenience.

lo-f'ng-l...

There should be a section on Affiliate Guard Dog to list sites that use botnets to steal content. Most of these lead back to Ukraine and Russia.

Botnets make up literally millions of compromised computers/IP's. I hear what your saying, but I don't see how adding this info is going to actually help affiliates. And, even if that resource was available, what are folks supposed to do with it?

I take the proactive approach, anything that comes thru my sites that's suspect is blocked. I do that before they even reach the home page, or any page of my sites. I've also blocked entire countries using Maxmind IPV4 and IPV6. In addition to that, also block spoofed UA's, and Google cache, and removed RSS from WP. Nothing is 100%, but... these days most nefarious garbage is automated, and with what I do, that seems to stop a high % of the crap.

Edit:
Also have honeypots, these catch those bastards, and get reported.
Have also in past used StopForumSpam, while that's mainly for forums, one can also use that info to block sh#t from one's site.

Dont worry if they steal your content with your affiliate links
