A very curious thing. Someone has registered a domain with the name of one of my plugins, copied the content from the plugin page onto a WordPress blog on the site, and then added a load of adverts.
If that isn’t irritating enough, they appear on the first page of a Google search for the plugin (thankfully at the bottom).
Fun stuff.
Your post prompted me to search for the domain name of my supercache plugin and thankfully it appears to be still available. Maybe I just map it to a wpcom blog just for safe keeping..
Yeah, grab that while you can!
Yet they use another plugin for their SEO needs. 😀
Fun stuff indeed.
I’d be curious to know how long it takes Google to detect such sites and drop them from its index. (I would imagine Google’s algorithms can detect fishy operations of that sort.)
In any case, you can report the website here:

Cheers!
A good suggestion – I’ll see if they pay any attention
Could be nice to see that google pays attention to report’s. Inform this when /if you get a reply.
