Are you a webmaster who people copy off of?

    It kinda annoys me when some people totally ripoff every idea you have even down to the site title and keywords. That would be like someone creating a site called DigitalPointer.com and it would have the exact same theme, navigation, and tools found here.

    When I have asked these individuals in the past regarding their actions they seem surprised as if it is ok to rip someone off. Don't get me wrong if someone wants to create a similar site that is fine I usually try to support them, but for those who totally rip you off that kinda annoys me. Do others try to mimic you as well? Luckily I have a few sites that are so complex and expensive that the copycats cannot duplicate the 18+ hour work days, creativity, and thousands of dollars spent creating the site. In a way I guess that keeps me motivated. How about yourself?

    The biggest problem I have is with people riping off my articles. I now subscribe to services that help me hunt down copies of my articles on other sites.
