Entire Web Site Mirrored at Another Domain

It seems that I've run into a whole gamut of thieves recently. I got a notice from Google that I was making income from a website, but it was not on my allowed list. I checked the URL. They had stolen my ENTIRE website, graphics (many of which I have special permission to use from major food companies), graphics I bought from a company in New York, every recipe on the site, and every page was there under there root URL, including my TRADEMARK page. My site has been online since 1999, and they started their site in October 2009.

I guess I need to know now to whom do I write at Google to report this? Thanks for any help you can give.

We're glad to hear that the mirroring problem is resolved. Let us know how your site rebounds over the next while.

If the site has Google Analytics installed, set up two domain filters, one for "IS www.example.com" and the other for "NOT www.example.com". The second one can show you when another site has copied your code and left the analytics intact, as well as showing cached page views. You can see these things without the filters, but I prefer to send them to different profiles so that recorded stats for pageviews of the site itself are not contaminated by pageviews of any of the copies.

A lesson learned. At least they took it down without a big fuss. I was thinking they were going to say, "Ha-ha, we're in Nigeria, come and get us!"
