Competition is a great thing and it’s what makes our country great, well sort of…
When competitors do nothing other that “parrot” other sites and mindlessly imitate sales copy, business models and products, they create bad competition, especially when their exaggerated claims just don’t hold water.
Case in point is one particular (bg) competitor of Barplan.com, a guy who started out selling only paper plans, who has now copied our complete membership based business model, private forum & gallery, sales copy, pricing and even tries to dilute or established image  by using  the very same flash image scroller we use on our front page. Another site (pi) operator once told me he’d NEVER sell easy to build plans, but now promotes his own knock off line of  our ” easy-to-build” plans. Another lame attempt at diluting our federally registered “Easy Home Bar Plan” mark.

It’s pathetic, but this is how lazy site operators work these days. They don’t create new ideas, they just wait for their competitor to come up with something new, then copy it using something called plagiarism, which is not only unscrupulous, it’s illegal, particularly when the copied material is used to make a personal profit.

The bad part for you is that whatever you buy from the copycat site is, 99% of the time, vastly inferior to the original work, so when you buy from them at the same price, you get much less than you’re being told.

So next time you’re comparing ANY websites, check the facts, look around a bit and maybe check Alexa’s Wayback Machine to see who’s the real deal and who’s the wannabe.
