Hi,
I am really PO'd and worried right now.
I own mightygrip.ca

Someone in China is duplicating my page and hundreds of others even spoofing the url
Look at this
http://www.mightygrip.ca.1bu.com/mighty_grip.html

This 1bu.com is doing this to many big sites, I think this is why I got knocked way down in the SERPs.
THey also use 1bu.net

They ad to the end of the page title "fliter" and a number, yes fliter not filter
Search fliter on google and see what I mean, they show up a few pages down.

Look at all these,

http://www.microsoft.com .1bu.com
http://www.mapquest.com. 1bu.com
http://www.google.co.uk. 1bu.com
http://www.internet-optimizer.com. 1bu.com/contact.html
http://www.dell.com. 1bu.com/

Whats up with this, ??
I am about to email a bunch of sites he has done this to, but want to make sure this is not some legit thing, I don't understand (newbie)

I tried running a whois on 1bu.com and can't get results

I am hoping that these other big guys listed above will take action if I notify them.

Check your site as well, try typing your url and ad .1bu.com to the end, you might be surprised.

Please help,

Thanks
Scott

you can do any domain name. all of mine worked. its just some automated thing that pulls pages throught there server

its like an offline browser..cept it is online

not a big deal

As said its only an offline browser for the sites but i think its not an offline browser but what I predict it it just displays other sites with the prefix of its own domain. Here is a benchmark of what I say.

My site http://www.globaldevelopers.net has some thing called tip of the day on the front page and when you visit the homepage that is generated randomly now when you http://www.globaldevelopers.net. 1 b u .com/ [remove the space and I did not want to give that a backlink] you see the tip as randomly and so there is nothing on the cache of 1bu and so it just display what it sees on the domain www.globaldevelopers.net.

So I dont think what it displays has anything to worry about as it does not copy the content of your page. I guess what it does is something like anonymous browsing is all about.

Thanks

shabbirbhimani your right :P, didnt notice that I should have tested better.

Still not a big deal though

Someone at another site says it is a phishing scheme.
THey have duplicated major banks, paypal, ...

"The pages themselves are making background calls to the intended destination, and altering the content to so they response to links and form go to HIS server, then sent on the to the destination server. This gives him the opportunity to store all data in both directions, including and ID's and passwords.

This is very different from framing, which is a page that tells the browser to open a sub-window, and directly interact with the intended server. With framing, the 3rd party never sees the data passed in the fram at all, so it's safe."
Quoted from
Juniper Park

If they are simply reserving up someone elses site how does the word
"fliter #######" get in the end of the page title?

I think there is something devious about this, and may also be behind some of googles weird SERP results as well

JMHO

If everything can be tested with one eyes people might not have used forums for fresh eyes to look at something.

Here is just a theory. I am under the believe that the Chinese government tightly controls internet access from outside of China. This might be an attempt to bring content to the Chinese people that they might not be able to get any other way.

Yes that can be one of the very valid reason. Also http://whois.sc/1bu.com tells that the country is China

well it's working for all domains, so i don't think it's for controlling anything

I don't know what they're playing at, but apparently you can stop them by putting this in .htaccess (or asking your webhost to)

Order Allow,Deny
Deny from 202.96.140.119
Allow from all

1bu.com filters and visits the function :

You add in the back of existing websites .1bu.Com or .1bu.net is visited, Can filter FLASH above , webpage virus , hostile code ,etc. ; Can convenient increase filter telecommunication wait for ISP filter yellow , illegal website that lose ,etc. also, benefits your use.
If you are a network station owner, do not hope your websites are filtered and visited , Can be very easy to Remove by oneself .
