    I'd begin by just informing him that you know he's plagiarised your site and asking him to resolve the issue. You then need to go down the Digital Millennium Copyright Act route which will require expert legal advice. I don't think there's any doubt that he's just cut and paste your content. Good luck.

    I'm committed resolving the whole thing. I've already written Private message to you.

    I promise to be in communication till the time it is fully resolved for both of us.

    I also repeat that I'll not shutdown the site cause this is not a unique concept, but make the whole loook and feel different than yours. Will add features that your site dont' have and remove some features so that we both stand on differnt ground.

    I also promise not to promote this site on DP. Cause you already on DP.

    You can write directly to me on my website.

    Regards

    You can't just go copying someone else's work and claiming it as your own whichever century it is. I think you threw your first comment just to try and provoke a reaction.

    What!? The text is THE SAME! The bullets are re-arranged, but the text is still the same. Check out the link I posted above. He is having different freelancers copy my site. He even says, go take a look at www.smartpagerank.com to see what I mean.

    He does have a different color scheme, but it's CLEARLY the exact same tool.

    I have to agree, it's the same thing... I hope you're getting a ton of backlinks or money out of this...
