Someone bought a domain I let expire (intentionally - I no longer wanted to run that site) and appears to have mirrored all the content on it with occasional ad links thrown in here and there.
It's weird.
I don't want to link to the site because I don't want to drive traffic to them.
- irongeek 4y agoThe exact same thing happened on an old blog of mine. They mirrored the content and changed all the links to ad links. I asked them once to take it down but received no response. I just ignored it and eventually they let the domain expire.
- fjfaase 4y agoThat makes sense. Your website probably had a good page rank and/or visibility. If they would have replaced your content with other content and/or filled it with a lot of ads, that might have dropped quickly. I often get request for links, advertisements or payed content for my personal website.
