We have all heard "why re-invent te wheel" this seems true in this business. Until (heaven forbid) the government steps in to regulate it, these are things are going to continue to happen. The reality is this you can either spend your time worried about others, or continue to improve what your doing.

I was slightly angered for about a minute then I realized that it doesn't really matter. If you are creative enough you can always make a better landing page, a better ad and that is sometimes your competitive advantage over other people in marketing.

Why to get angry? Is it the first time that one of his ads was copied? unlikely if he is a supper affiliate. Take it easy. Do what you have to do. None of us would like to be copied

Why to get angry?

unlikely if he is a supper affiliate.

Take it easy.
Do what you have to do.

Obviously ripping someone's site and content is just wrong. As for those keyword tools, I see nothing wrong with them, that's just public info organized nice and neat. Copying someone's ad is definitely greyish. I try to outperform the other ads that I'm competing with. When they copy my ads, really nothing I can do, never read anything on google's policy about this. I think the anger may come from when new competition enters someone's nice and comfy income stream and takes from it. That's the nature of the beast. Why is the other affiliate entitled to all the profits??? You raise concerns that everyone in this industry has to deal with. Obviously ripping someone’s site and content is just wrong.

I have had numerous people make variations of my ads - but not copy it exactly. Those tools you referred to show a select few of the keywords that people are running along with the associated ads. I have used the tool & it gives me ideas to write ads, but I do not copy them exactly to avoid these types of problems. Good luck!
