      Hi Arlene, I agree with Mark: I would make filing a DMCA takedown request a priority. Good luck.

        Hello Mark,

        Actually, when I update the site like uploading some new products an content, the duplicate site will automatically update as well. Well, thank you so much for your suggestion here. I hope this could solve our problem. Thanks a lot!

        Arlene

          Hi Rod,

          Thanks for you reply. Actaully, I already requested for link deletetion on webmaster tool using the disavow link tool last week. I uploaded those unnatural links through an excel file. When will actually this would take effect? I requested last week, Wednesday.

          Thanks,

          Arlene

            Hi Arlene,

            I find this hard to understand though. If you added a product right this minute, would the duplicate site have the same product listed within a matter of minutes?

            What I've found is that any site that goes to such lengths is typically a competitor wishing to go down the black hat route of trying to have your website penalized. I have witnessed this and it wasn't pleasant. Thankfully we were able to have the duplicate site shut down within 24 hours.

            I would stress how urgent this is to you. This site needs to be deleted immediately.

              It could take up to a few months. Google need to manually moderate the links. I'm sure there are plenty people who are doing the same thing.

                If the new products are going live, on the duplicate site, as soon as you upload them, then you might have someone who has access your product database or has hacked into it. I cannot see any other reason as to how this is happening.

                  The perp hasn't downloaded and copied your site. He/she is using domain masking to point the URL to your site. Still, I would consider doing something about it a high priority.

                    Hello Mark,

                    Yes, all the products that we have been uploaded will automatically duplicated from the original site. That is also my suspicion because the site rank on top of Google before the Penguin update has been released. I actually requested a disavow request already from Google webmaster tool last week.

                      Hello Cardigan,

                      So, how do actually solve this issue if this is the case? I think you got a point!

                      Thanks,

                      Arlene

                        I see.. That's what I told to my client that it would take a few months for his website to get fully recovered. But, he's really pressuring me that he wants to get on top of Google back ASAP because his website has a high authority score. I explained to him that it's not that easy to get fully recovered if you hit so badly by Penguin update. He's not thinking that I was just started for almost 3 weeks yet also.

                        Thanks

                        Arlene
