There exists a fraternity of webmasters out there that are still under the illusion that the fastest way to the top of the rankings is to steal content from someone who is already there and publish it, lock stock, on their sites. Reinforcing yet again that a little knowledge is dangerous.

This is nothing new, since the birth of the "cut and paste" generation started, plagiarism is rife everywhere. This new attack, uses a redirect to cloak the content, the page that then comes up is blank, nothing on it and nowhere to go. Usually the motives behind plagerism in this field are to do with laziness and improving their rankings. This occassion it appears to be a blatent attack to distroy, using Google's page duplication policy, the rankings of the original site.
