INTERNET MARKETING

I have a website How to Lose Weight Fast - Quick Weight Loss Blog and i have come to know that someone has put an exact copy of my website at http://crazefor.com . I am amazed that how they are doing this and bewildered too.

I have contacted the host. But what can i do to block this on my side to block this domain from fetching content from my site. Looks like it is totally hotlinked and is also stealing my bandwidth too.

Any advice what i need to do.

  I see it right now.
  
  Send a DCMA complaint to the host & site owner if you can.

  Yes, it's up! You should send an DMCA complaint to their ISP. And I would send a very threatening email to him as well. Tell him you're going to hire some local lawyer and open a case in his local court. Find his school, university, employer or anyone and threaten owner if they don't remove your content you'll send out emails to all of them. Be professional but be scary!!!

  I meant be professional with writings. You need to scare them, but don't piss them off right? Do you have problems being professional and being threatening at the same time Mr. Stangel? You can't baby these dudes, I mean I don't actually mean to send out emails to their family and friends. But I would like them to believe me. You get the idea.

So after getting advice on a technical forum, here is what i did:

I blocked cross site script support in Nginx web server. And I also blocked the IP address of the copying site in Nginx. For those interested in details:

Add these lines to your nginx.conf

add_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN;
add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff;
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";

and

deny IPaddress;
to nginx.conf.

The pages on copying site are showing Forbidden message except on home page.

this happens frequently for some sites I have, 99% percent of the time contacting the hosting company does it
