It's high time hubpages put a security check on it's site against such breach. Other websites do that.
Wow. It even has the “Welcome to Dengarden” video and the Maven name and logo at the bottom.
I know Hubpages always tells us that they can't do anything about this sort of thing and we have to individually submit DMCA takedown notices, but if the homepage of a site and base domain is copied, surely they can make the submission?
This site is hosted by Google.
On a positive note, titles of articles don't seem to be indexed by Google.
When anyone will read your article from that site you can actually see a view on Google analytics. Are you aware of the fact? Maybe you will also get the impressions too. I am not sure though.
Sometimes that can happen if a site is framed as I understand it's called. So effectively a website sort of embeds the site on their own site, but it's not a copy as such (similar to the way we can embed Youtube videos in our articles that play in a window).
I amn't getting any according to GA, but I think I added a setting to ignore the registering of traffic from myself.
Only the front page seems to be working. Clicking on categories gives a "page has moved" notification, so luckily they don't appear to have duplicated the entire site.
Edit: Is "amn't" a word? My browser dictionary hasn't heard of it.
Lol! It’s a contraction of “am not,”In the United States it's “nonstandard,” according to the Oxford English Dictionary. The reason “amn’t” is not widely used is that it’s ungainly and awkward to pronounce.
Okay, I am going to open one of your article on that site. See if you can see a view on Google analytics
Miz, please do express "ain't" in full without the apostrophe ('). Just for noting.
Where are you getting that, Miebakagh? Are you saying to use the formal "are not"? Sorry, but we in the U.S. have our own way of informal speech and writing. The dictionaries now recognize "ain't" as a word in informal speech and writing. Thesaurus.com has this to say about it.
"Ain’t wasn’t always so looked down upon, though. We can find ain’t (and its related, historic forms like an’t) in the mouths of upper-class characters in literature, for instance. Yes, ain’t was once historically acceptable in the colloquial language of Victorian lords and ladies!" Italics added by yours truly.

Apparently writers like Dickens made ain't into a lower class word by allowing their low class characters to use it.
By the way, who died and made you the grammar police for another country, anyway? This isn't the first time you've jumped me for my use of American idioms when I'm joking with another American. Sometimes I find your grammar downright weird, but I don't chide you about it.
"By the way, who died and made you the grammar police for another country, anyway? MizBejabbez, you unusually pull me up while seating relaxely. I've bought that your above quote, and permit me to use it in updating an article I had on HubPages. You're an American. And, as far as your English, formal or informal can carry you, you're good to go...period. Seriously, I was brought up in the British standard in my English class. So, your American usage can somehow get in my way. Seriously also, it seems the English "are not(an't) is contrast to the American ain't. That's my query. You're okay, I'm okay. Thanks for the link. It's a study.
Bev, correct. And, you're Brit, right? But have you take a look at the link and highlighten link(Black English)? I think English still pose a problem even to a native speaker. But to a foreigner like me, it's a study.
No, I haven't. An't isn't generally used in British English.
Okay I am going to open one of your article on that site. See if you can see a view on Google analytics
I just have one direct view from Spain today, so I guess that's you. However did you click on the hub on Dengarden too?
No, but I checked your profile on HP. I guess the view you got from me is from HP not from this grannypot dot com.
P.S: Is it a profile view or an Article view on GA from Spain?
Both the article view and profile view came from the same city in Spain.
So, the profile view is from HP while the other view on the article is from grannypot. It means it does count an impression, I believe. Maybe, it's a mirror site then. Not sure!
Maybe, I'm not sure. The only benefit to whoever copied the site then would be to replace ads by their own.
Yes, I guess.
We have another such site before we were allowed to leave comments from there as well. It was www . m i n u u te . com (remove spaces) it no longer exist now.
I amn't
You aren't
He isn't
She isn't
We aren't
You aren't (plural or ye aren't in Ireland, usually outside the Pale)
They aren't
Alternatively:
I'm not
You're not
He's not
She's not
We're not
You're not (Ye're not in Ireland)
They're not
I always use "ye" to differentiate between singular and plural, similar to the American"ya'll".
I'm not sure of the origin of "ye" and it's probably not related to "ye" as in "ye olde":

Is it true that Google is inundated by billions of articles that it's suffering from a system overload, and unable to give quality attention to new and better written articles? Just imagine, the poor Google crawler had to sift through 14 million articles to come up with 10 results on page 1 for a...

Hello. I have some questions regarding Google Analytics and Webmaster tools. Any help is greatly appreciated. When I checked my webmaster tools, I saw a lot of URL errors, a 404 crawl error because apparently "Googlebot couldn't crawl this URL because it points to a non-existent page"....
