If you do a lot of Internet search, you've come across a site or two that do nothing but aggregate links as a means of generating money from Google & Yahoo click ads. Recently I am noticing that some of the posts from our site - The Harper Team - are being hijacked by these low-lifes.
I want to help make people aware of this and offer a means to help combat this scourge.
Here is the post from our site -
San Ramon - Dublin - Pleasanton CA Real Estate News - Dec 30
And here are two examples of it being hijacked -

http://mortgage-refinance-homeequity.com/blogs/california-home-loan-mortgage-mortgage/12211/
So, what can we do about this. The first thing I do is to report the site to Google - Spam Report (bookmark this page for future use)
I alert them to the fact that the site is hijacking my material solely for the purpose of cheating the Google Ad Sense campaign - as they can clearly see if they visit the site. I ask them to remove the site from their index.
I would like to hear from anyone that has more information about what can be done. I am going to ask a couple of people who are more tech oriented to weigh in on this so, you might want to follow the comments for a while.
