Why is someone framing my site?

I was checking out stats for my personal blog, and I noticed some visitors coming from some weird domain name.

I checked it out and it turned out to be a domain with nothing but my site in a frame.

I have no idea why they are doing this, but how do I stop/prevent this?

    When you go to "their" site and click a link...does it still take you to your own affiliate link or your own paypal button?

    Hmm, thank you. I've just done a WHO IS check and will be sending an email soon.

    Anyone have any idea why someone would be doing this?

    My site is just a personal blog with no monetization at all.

    There are several ways to program a "frame breaker" - code that will prevent your site from being run within a frame. Usually this involves a bit of JavaScript.

    None of these are bullet proof but it may help.

    Almost everytime this happens, they always leave a link to my site or my sites name on it.

    Most people who do this will never make a business that goes anywhere. Email them, if not, focus on building your business.

    Cheers,
