A lesson learned, I guess...

Eh, a while ago, offered an active web site up for sale here. No offers, however shortly after that, the .org of the name gets regged, and an amazingly similar site appears to give me competition, even down to the same affiliate program they are using. -sigh-

So, I guess I see why one shouldn't talk about their domains around here, unless they are dumping them fast.

 

[Spade]

Thats a shame. What was the site?

 

[mmbullseye]

I'm guessing he won't want to say.

Sucks. But you have the .com so that shouldn't really worry you much?

 

[allroundguy]

... Some companies would send a cease and desist letter letter. It costs almost nothing. A settlement could be more profitable than the initial business.

He didn't say if he had the .com. I hope he does though.

 

[lzy]

Ah yes, I just assumed he had the .com as the 'competitior' got the .org. Sorry about that.

 

[RogueWriter]

Yep, I had the .com, which is fine, just noticed him showing up in the serps as a competitor. What can you do, though. One fewer domain in that niche available, though, so maybe it will make mine more valuable, indirectly, even though I may lose out on some sales.

Unless he is beating you in the SERPS he's probably just helping you in the long run.
