Hi pari91,
Thanks for sharing nice information.
 
page jacking is stealing web content from high ranking web site and placing it in your own site to increase your website performance in search engine result pages.
 
Page jacking is the process of illegally copying legitimate website content (usually, in the form of source code) to another website designed to replicate the original website. To accomplish page jacking, a fraudulent pagejacker copies a favorite Web page from a reputable site, including its actual HTML code.

A pagejacker's intention is to illegally direct traffic from the original site to cloned Web pages. Pagejackers rely on search engines to index bogus site content to enable search result ranking and display with the original site.
 
A more technically complex form of jacking sucks the content directly off your website by screen scraping. Recently site owners have seen an even more advanced technique using page redirects. When Googlebot and AltaVista's Scooter see temporary '302' redirects sent by the web server or Meta refresh tags contained in HTML pages they index the redirected content but keep the URL of the page making the redirect.
 
Pagejacking is stealing the contents of a Web site by copying some of its pages, putting them on a site that appears to be the legitimate site, and then inviting people to the illegal site by deceptive means - for example, by having the contents indexed by major search engine s whose results in turn link users to the illegal site. By moving enough of a Web site's content as well as the page descriptor information (known as META information) within each page, pagejackers can then submit the illegal site to major search engines for indexing. Users of the search engine sites may then receive results from both the illegitimate as well as the legitimate site and can easily be misled to link to the wrong one. Users linking to the illegitimate site may find themselves redirected to a pornographic or other unwanted site. As an additional annoyance, users subjected to pagejacking may also encounter mousetrapping , in which clicking the Back button with the mouse does not lead out of the illegal site but only to the viewing of additional unwanted pages. To escape, the user may need to close the browser or even restart the operating system.
