So, even though this site is not getting any traffic, if someone happens to purchase SBI! from his site, I'll get the commission (I checked the link from his site). I'm not expecting that to happen, but hey, you never know.

Now that I think about it, I should add a few links to my other affiliate programs!

Overall, I'm too busy trying to add content to my SBI! site, and I don't want to spend too much time trying to fight this guy. I'm way ahead of him anyway .
That's a good attitude. As your site continues to get popular you will continue to notice people trying to copy your info. Like you, when I first noticed someone stealing my stuff I was hot but then I realized those people don't generally harm your search results since the search engines have gotten smarter.

He/she is lazy and when they finally realize copying content is not going to make them money they'll eventually stop. I remember I used to spend lots of time emailing the Google copyright infringement division (or whatever it's called) but generally those sites just fade away.

Keep building your great, unique content and you'll be fine. Copycatters are inevitable these days but the honest, hard working people usually win in the end.
