And honestly, who will really search for your URL but those already familiar with it? I would never think of putting that in a search unless I was already familiar with your site. Then I'd put that in the address. You are searching using a useless search term, so that isn't any help other that to tell you who is abusing your content and concept. For that, talk directly to Google as EVERYONE is getting the same abuse and no one has come up with an answer for that. A lot of those sites, I bet, were on <a href="http://www.blogherald.com/2008/04/01/cleaning-blogspot-spam-is-google-responding-to-public-pressure/" title="Is Google Responding to Public Pressure ..." rel="nofollow">Google's Blogspot, which I wrote about recently</a>, a blight on the web if there ever was one. @ wesley edens:

I have a fairly new business site that I have worked very hard at being picked up by the search engines. So far everyone except Live search(thats funny because I am a customer of office live) has done so. The problem is that spamming sites are using my descriptions, title tags, page names, site name and who knows what else to acheive false site ranking. Do a Google search on realpersonreminder.com and you will see my site followed(hopefully) by 30 or so phony sites. Is there any thing I can do about this? THANKYOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIMR!

It’s quite easy to mark them as spam and mass delete them at my convenience, but it’s still annoying to know that somewhere, your content is appearing on someone else’s site without proper citation. Google PageRank also lowers the ranks of blogs with many pingbacks from scraper sites - another incentive to take action rather than sit passively.1 [...] [...] Since creating this blog, I’ve gotten a fair amount of pingbacks from scraper sites.
