Oh boy. This post might be enough to make me avoid hitting the subscribe to RSS button.

Since we’re going with broad-brush similarities, note that even before you came up with that idea “not even a week ago” from Jun 6, David Naylor the UK SEO had beaten you to it.

Perhaps some 4am feed skimming left you with a vague idea which you woke up to a few days later and blogged about. Perhaps Aaron had the same ordeal. Perhaps it was from David’s blog, not yours.

Copying and pasting the content of private conversations will never be a dignified thing to do.

That is bogus, PB. But hey, I guess like the others say, you are going to have to get use to it.

The tournament idea is cool and would be nice to follow. I like the idea of doing it regularly or yearl/quarterly/bi-annually because that will set the expectation for your readers and they can have something else to look forward to.

Good luck, have fun, and make money!

@ Shane: Don’t worry about that one… the “Piss List” is coming head on! As for the unique idea… yeh, not much these days is very original, however looking at Abber’s behavior and response tells me I was spot on with my assessment.

It’s a principle issue actually. When other bloggers “take” your ideas, it really makes people like myself second guess posting ideas, thoughts, and plans for fear of blatant scraping.

Conceptually, he could have waited a little while before launching his “new idea” and that would have kept the wolves at bay and looked a little less intentional. Instead, within a day of posting my “new idea” and linking to his blog… Marketing Babe of the Week appeared in his feed reader. As AP would put it… “Dodgy!”

I’m quite over it, as we are two different people with two different ideas on how to make money. He goes for the quantity of people he’s addressing, and I approach quality people I address.

Thanks for swinging by, hope to see more of you!

I’ll quote from bono of U2 “every artist is a cannibal every poet is a theif all kill their inspiration then sing about their grief”
I hear alot of singing right now.
You know what amazes me about the word competition, is the idea that there isn’t enough to go around. Want to do a marketing babe of the week do one and “compete” on that basis. There’s plenty of room and space and visitors for everyone.
Im sorry but there pretty well isnt an original idea out there any more, its more or less all been done its really just a matter of who can do it better/
Looking forward to the do it better over here

@ Forest: Facts are simple. I wrote a post on it. Then over the following three days, I just so happened to be involved in a commenting parade over at FullTilt… within a day or two… Aaron comes up with this “revised” stroke” of genius. Way to odd for me… but even so, I titled the post with a “?”. This would naturally mean I was simply proposing the plausibility of a “copy”.

I’ve stayed far away from the MMO niche for many of the same reasons you have. That said, I still know that Arron’s “program” is a lot of fluff and affiliate link spam. Just ask our friend AP (Affiliate Post) about his FullTilt Blogging experience. I’d love to tell you first hand, but Aaron denied my request into his “program”.

wow this one go out of hand!!!

I was really angry the other week. I wrote out a post about the release of FireFox 3 and before I had even published it I noticed at least 10 other bloggers has copied my idea!!!! Man I was pissed

Sorry for being cheeky. I don’t know if Aaron was spurred by your idea or not but i am newish member of his mentoring program and it has been great….. Just as a testament Mark mason from Mason’s World has been following Aaron’s program closely and has just released his first product Niche Adsense Themes and for a first product it is selling like wildfire so…

I hope you do join the program and hope you settle your differences with Aaron.

I am finding it tiring liking all these MMO bloggers who hate each other … I makes me feel like the friend of a couple who have just split….. very awkward!

@ PB: As you well know, this is the first site I read EVERYDAY and having just read your new post I thought best to start where I left of first. My Previous remark was simply to point out that the comments on this blog had degenerated of late. I used Bloggerunleashed merely as an example but could have chosen anyone of thousands. Yes, I agree that it was for the most part full twats fault but come on mate……this is not what TPB is about right??? I’m not taking sides here but as I have repeatedly and openly said – you have my full support. I am highly sceptical of Aarons mentor program and his remarks did nothing but fuel my fire. It is that reason and that reason alone I signed up to his program and look forward to telling all about it on AP. I am not rewarding him as Bryan might say, but giving him the chance to openly prove what he is about…instead of leaving lame quotes and spoiling the pleasure that I and others get from being here. Judging by the SIX emails I have received from Aaron in the last 12 hours I don’t think we are off to a good start anyway….maybe he is sending me yours too?!?

Oh……and call me a comment whore one more time

@ Zania: Yep it better count.. according ot my count Aaron’s got two links and three or four new signups from PB! Not bad. As for myself, I DID join, however it said to check my inbox… three hours later, nothing. Maybe Aaron doesn’t want me in

@ Aaron: Your welcome, I’ll be waiting for you post about ny totally awesome premium theme giveaway in return… though I’m sure I’ll be waiting a while.

@ AP: Blogger unleashed huh? LOL read my latest post… then come back to that one.

@ Nick: Thanks for the backup here. None of this had to do with the idea. Frankly, the topic would have died two days ago, had the mud slinging never started. My ONLY point here was that it was not an unprovoked fight.

@ Bryan: All I can do is laugh… LMAO. And since that is the only thing I can say, I’m going to go and join AP in the “comment whore” club for the rest of the afternoon.

@ Kirsty: You had that one coming. You were after all the one who started calling people bad names! Shame on you…
