I have a test site I use for developmental purposes;
http://www.designsforauctions.com/index.php

so Today, I put on the home page the "test test"

and look at this site;
http://www.prepaid-india-phone-cards.com/

same thing???? but it only was cloned on the home page?

How would that happen?

I checked all of my sites, and nothing has been hacked, it is just that one page?
It looks like they did a view source and copied.

We've had that problem with our GoSearchFor site.  Every once in a while we'll discover someone in China or Poland has copied entire pages (including the megatags).

Slimeballs usually do it so they can trick searchers into going to their sites which are usually full of either advertising or malware.

You have 2 options:
1. file a spam complaint with google through their webmaster site and try to get it removed from search


Scratch the above.

Ditto what she said.  The prepaid-india site was accidentally parked on top of your designsforauctions site (i.e. someone added a "ServerAlias prepaid-india-phone-calls.com" entry to the container in Apache's httpd.conf) so the site you're seeing when you go to prepaid-india is actually your designsforauctions site (which is why the test test you added to the home page showed up immediately on the prepaid-india site).
my webhost fixed it....thanx
