Sites listed on Flippa get duped
While I have no problem with folks using flippa to get niche ideas, this last one really ticked me off. After the auction ended, the winner did the transfer himself. I sent him zipped copies of everything including the awesome one of a kind custom theme that I spent many hours creating just for this site.
After some time, the buyer sends me an angry email and shows me an exact replica of site that has started to move up in the serps. The copycat got a copy of theme and copied all the images and content word for word. There were over 70 posts and 30 unique images.
The copycat was able to get the theme because the buyer left the zipped theme in the themes folder. And he had to have manually copied all the posts and images.
It looks like he's now building the same backlinks and more.
I am f@#king pissed. these copycats always seem to come from a certain part of the world.:rolleyes:
Both me and buyer will file complaints with google, their host, etc. This post is just venting I guess.
