This is a somewhat useful tool. However, it is only useful if you are looking for copied text content from your site. Not the actual site or graphics. It is still very useful as far as text is concerned though.

One thing that I myself have found useful, was the tracking utility, Mint ( www.haveamint.com )

Not long ago I had found a copy of my site, they were actually testing it off on their computer! When they copied the site, they forgot to take out the tracking link..

Yea, they obviously have great discussion ove there! i mean...all but 15 threads have had no replies then, if those stats are correct, pretty rubbish... Wait, that is a working forum isnt it??

But back on topic, that is a very good site, good for finding those content stealers out there. Thats if your content is completely unique in the first place/worth getting worried about (blog etc no real harm).
