    I've got some readymade scripts/sites from many which are clones of GAF and SL.

    But as a freelancer I'm receiving a lot of invitations from a lot of new clones in the recent days.

    Even in one of the good freelancing site, one guy has posted a project :

    like this blah, blah.

    So what they are trying to show?

    Even I've seen one big freelancing site, where we as an provider or outsider not able to see who are all placed their bids in a project. But I've see at many times during odd hours also as soon as a project been posted there, within few minutes the number of bids showing 60,70,80+

    I am wondering how is this possible? Is that mean all the freelancers are refreshing each and every minute for the new projects?!

    They are charging too much as per month provider fee. But I've never got a good project from that site so far in my 3+ years experience with them.

    But they've marketed very well their site and they are claiming that they are number 1 in this industry.

    I trust elance or GAF, and even SL on this matter.

    krkbkk, are you talking about RAC ? Yep, I've seen sometimes things like that, those are just empte bid from somewhat faked accounts from 1 town, they hope that buyer choose someone from them and since it's still 1 person, they will win. Next time I'll see it I'll tell Ian Ipolito to ban them. Also about making clone of site, if we talk about RAC I report such guys every time and they ban them without a problem, OP sounds like one of them, if he'll post his project in RAC I'll make sure to make him BANNED! easy going guy with $0 in pocket...looking for clones, lmao

    well
    I have used GAF as a buyer. 99% of bids are crap so there is good petential of improvement there.
    work is always available as more and more outsourcing gains ground. In cybervillage no one needs to do all the work alone.
    Can someone please let me know if there are any good clones available for sale?
    thanks

    I have an almost exact clone of elance. I had it custom made but decided on not continuing the project. If you're interested in starting some kind of partnership or would like to purchase the script, PM ME.

    OP, how do you plan to stay against fraud?
    That RAC&GAF are *truly* accurate when dealing with $10,000 projects - it helds a degree to confess to paypal/moneybookers/egold support in case of accident.
