I’m somewhat confused. I was doing a search term within google blogs and received the following hit: http://iugiug9.dangertone.com/

Is this a clone of my blog? (http://americanbedu.com)

Why does this URL have so many of my own posts and information?

It appears to be what you’d call a splog or blog scraper, someone stealing other people’s work to stick ads on it.

There are tips for handling it here:

I had a similarly unpleasant experience, delphi4cats. I clicked on one of the referrers to my blog from my blog stats, and found one of my postings there, complete! (Except for the new title, deleting my initials at the end of the post, adding a graphic, changing the paragraph breaks radically, and messing up everything with periodic deletions, nothing was changed.) It is a dismaying experience to have an entire posting stolen, and then rearranged incompetently. The posting was 500 words. Is this legal on current.com?
