Company trying to sabotage our SEO

Asked by ProAction in Internet Marketing, Java Programming Language, Internet Search Engine Optimization

Tags: ,

Hello Experts, I hope everyone is doing great today.

I have a big problem. There is a company who has taken our website, proactionmedia.com, and duplicated it somehow on their website under a link like this - hearmyspace.com/proactionmedia.html I am the webmaster of proactionmedia.com.

Now I had a talk with our SEO people and theys tated a company would do this to attempt Google to index that website, see their are two exact same websites out there and ultimately drop them both all together. This seems a bit harsh and we have had high rankings for a number of years now so my question is; Wouldn't Google know the imposter URLs from the actual ones?

Does anyone know a way I can prevent any possible bad scenarios from this.

I sent them an email, I was very polite and asked for the removal of it, I got no response. I did a whois on them and the registrant is listed as the technical contact.

Even if I did  contact them and had something done about it who is to say it won't happen again with another company. I could rant about the immoralities of this but i'll spare you that.

Does anybody know a way of preventing this? Maybe a code snippet which will tell Google which website is the real website.

Thank you all very much for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it it very much.Start Free Trial
