Has anyone heard of cutestat. com?
was just browsing my new business name and rightly so found it on top page of google? Two rows below I saw my business name mybusinessname. com. cutestat!! ranking just below me? When I clicked on it I found this website above?
I have to say I am absolutely furious I manage to contact them to remove my website from their platform and I have had no reply whatsoever?
Also if you scroll to the bottom of their website you have an option to remove your website but you have to create a robots.txt file and place this in your root directory? I have tried doing this loads of times now through file ziller and nothing has happened!
The thing that is bugging me most is the fact that all of your personal details come up in their stats see photo below
All the domain name servers has come up! How did they get this information this is supposed to be 100% secure?
I have sent them a few messages now to ask them to remove my site or I will be forced to take legal action against them, they are just ignoring me?
Does anyone have any advice on this because at the moment I am considering changing my business name and that looks very bad in front of clients.
Maybe if you know some awesome tech guys who could remove it for me? All I can say to everyone is just keep on the look out for this, there is nothing nasty coming from this but doing my research they steal your information and clone you sites so they get ranked above you so it does ruin you Google rankings.
Please let me know your thoughts in the comments

Karl, thank you very much for sharing this.
I would be angry also.
It is good for all of us to keep an eye on this site and monitor for infringement.
Unfortunately, I do not know how to remove your site from their platform.
Please keep us informed.

Thanks for the feedback Cassi, I think they must be using malware software to gain people's details then cloning sites with subdomains, to gain higher rankings, but hey no worries thank you.
I just checked them out and that may well be what they are doing.
The information helps us to be vigilant to protect our hard work.
Thank you.

Cutestat generates domain information automatically. Its stats are not that accurate. It gets publicly available information through domain lookups like whois and of course directly from your domain.
If you are using All-One-SEO, edit your robots.txt there, and that will take care of it.
Cheers,
