I havent... cause i dont really care about others. But if they are using blackhat methods, then yes... i would report them *even if google dont do anything
i wouldn't care neither, but they have spam my site with their links, and took a lot of my members. Just wondering if google will tell them who give the tip.
Try to prevent their spam and report to the ISP the site is hosted. Even if it is affiliate spam, it's site's repsonsibility to see that their affiliates don't spam.
just focus in your website. Don't mind them unless they did something bad on your displayed adsense ads like clicking it hundred times then report them.
reporting competitors is a waste of time use the time to concentrate on your sites...will help in long run
Some people have been reporting one of my sites but everytime google checks it, it passes the test and I get even higher placement on the search engine. So if you are thinking about reporting competitors that are not doing anything wrong you are just kicking yourself in the nuts.
To me this is very unethical and not fighting "fair". It just shows your own insecurity if you have to report someone for you to go up.
Why should I care for others ? I don't care for these things. I better spend my time in making more money from adsense rather than reporting anyone. - Digital -
well, I used to eating the whole cake, now i am eating 70% of the cake, yes, i do feel insecure because my niche was copied, he had copied my idea and doing exactly the same with very good success, because he is doing something extra that violated google TOS. That gives him some advantage over me. I also think it's an unfair compeition. If i leave it as is, i think he will be eating 70% of my cake.
Stop complaining this is a business opportunity and as long as he has not violated any copyright of your site there is nothing to do about it. Other people can find the same niches as you are using and the ones I am using but why complain? Do your work and do it better then your competitors thats the only thing. If you are trying to get people to feel sad for you, then please stop and think about what this is. It's a forum of thousands of users all doing their favorite niche websites and let it be this way. It doesn't even have to be your website who made the guy make a website with the same niche. Get over it and do your work better or find another niche. Talking about reporting the guy is just BS talk and is not respected in any way. He eats as much of the cake as he can just as you do. Do you think it should only be you who have a website about your niche and you who earned all the earnings from the adsense ads? Do you have a pagerank 10 website or how can you talk like that ?
