P.S. If anyone else comes across any other sites with articles that I wrote, I would appreciate it greatly if you would tell me about them. There are only a very select few sites that I have given permission to use my articles and they are all required to link back to me. Thanks.

Robin,

You can type in the URLs of your other articles on this site and they'll scan the web for you.

This has happened to me a couple of times. Consider sending an e-mail to the whois contact. Usually mentioning that you're contacting a lawyer, their ISP, etc is sufficient enough to get them to remove it. It's still terribly frustrating.

Cheers
Michael

Michael thanks for the tip & url.

I've now sent emails to the contacts and the hosts and to Google AdSense, (one of them has got google ads on those pages...seems to me thats a violation of G AdSense)

Just a little update:

It would appear that realgaypersonals has taken down my article.

I'll be monitoring their site to make sure it stays that way.

matchmateinheaven has not taken down any of my articles, so I'll be going the next step with them.
