Imitation is the bestform of flattery...

OH MY GOD I know that girl!

I'm going to be sick

slimy puse' make me ill at times

same designer?

What are you talking about? They look nothing alike. LMAO :1orglaugh

highly doubt it. we do our own designs.

These threads will never give you satisfaction.
50% will say fuck man, that's a rip, and the other 50% will tell you you're wrong.

That's sad, but not surprising.

There's maybe three people in the entire online adult industry who innovate. The rest just copy. What's even worse is how much mediocrity and blatant rip-offs are praised by the sheep.

same design - same designer

serious business

At least you guys did it first...

Client: I want a design JUST like xxxxxxxxxx.com
Designer: Just like it?!?
Client: Yep, as close as possible without looking like blatant theft.

A week later the designer shows the client the finished work.
Designer: Like this?
Client: Yep, I love it!

Client goes posting on GFY praising designer. Happy ending.

wow.. same shit

Thats just a rip off indeed, those headers are almost 100% Identical. Anybody not seeing this must have his eyes checked.

oh and yes , blame the designer. Thats the easiest.

someone just cant do something of its own

BS, thats what it is:
Client: I want a design JUST like xxxxxxxxxx.com
Designer: Just like it?!?
Client: Yep, as close as possible without looking like blatant theft.

A week later the designer shows the client the finished work.
Designer: Like this?
Client: Yep, I love it!

They don't look alike. Blame yourself for being fucking paranoid.

Just because it has a white background, doesn't mean they copied you.

that's pretty normal I would say

What a rip-off! It looks wayyyyyyy too much like the original :(

They may have had influence from yours, like the row of poon and they used the color pink. But aside from that, it's completely different.

blatant knock-off

all the designs from Slick Cash sites are very similar

I think that the PG is only complaining because the sites are now on the same niche.....

lol no that is a blatant rip-off... all he did was add a few lines here and there and thats it.

Anybody who has worked in design or as a freelancer of some sort knows what happened here.

thanks for that. I think that is someone blatantly ripped off another site, detail by detail, wouldn't that undermin the webmasters?

Would that just shout 'Webmasters are dumb and won't notice?'

I think some companies, like Slickcash are a little smarter than that and are a bit more understanding how important webmasters are.

It's a blatant knock-off. The concept is almost exactly the same, the color and even the font is nearly identical. You can blindly say that they are 'smarter than that', but IMHO they should fire their designer and design a new site as an act of good faith.

Would you be thinking the same if they didn't pay you to think that? :)

Ask the designer, and then decide to shoot him or not

exactly! lol, says the person with SlickCash button in their sig.

Exactly... the designs from all of Slickcash sites are similar to each other. Does Perfect Gonzo own the single girl masturbation niche?

You meen he copied disign?

yep totally. because I work with tons of companies everyday, and if I didn't take the webmasters into consideration, I don't think many deals would get done.
.

Newsflash, most DON'T take webmasters into consideration.

that is a weak copy lol

all of their sites/designs are an imitation of PG sites

PG has always been in the avantguard of site design and content quality......GMP has been out since '04. Why would you want to copy a design that has been floating arround for over 2 yeras in an industry where 1 month = almost a life time?

Front end design is really not a science. Good quality pictures + Hot Girls + Easy to follow flow + Simple Text = 1 good Design. Really there's no need to ripp someone off.

....just ma 2 cents.

to be fair they have blondes and you have brunettes ;)

plus horizontal vs vertical snatches ;)))

If it were the same designer, as a client I would be screaming conflict of interest.

If it's just another pussy site selling pussy the pussies are sold these days, I think if anyone owned the patent to pink, it would be Hustler.

If you look at the member's areas of both sites Slickcash is obviously copying PG and then just changing a few things. For example on the gallery pages they are both using a header image of 299 X 190. I seriously doubt both came up with those unusual dimensions separately. Also the entire layout of the member's areas is almost identical. Same size thumbs, placement of links, similar bordered tables used, etc. Even the use of the header frame is virtually identical.

The wording and link placement of the 2257 is an exact copy. They even copied word for word the PG's copyright notice chaning only the contact e-mail address.

The old snatches.com design was a blatant copy of GiveMePink too, noone seemed to care then, why would they care now

One of our main sites have been copied atleast 4-5 times with both name, concept/content, color, and style... been a problem with PPC in SE, since the surfer can get confused which one is the original one, if one of the clones is bidding on the same keywords :disgust

But I guess that is part of the business - just always have to be one step ahead, and make the others play catch up :2 cents:

Here's a screenshot of some of the stuff I'm talking about

Honestly, design really doesn't matter that much. When they start stealing your traffic, then it's time to get concerned.

It's a sad reality of this biz - My brand names get scraped and SEO'd by thieving fuckers on a regular basis.

But what do you do, when even a search on an SE starts with your query and links it to the SE's crony club.

Look and feel complaints like this one, do have merit, but they are hard to dispute. It's not a copyright violation if the images are licensed by each party.

I'd love to be in the courtroom as lawyers split shaved hairs over '5 horizontal vaginas with two brunette and three blonde...'

The best defense is be the best. Secure your brands if they do apply and enforce them, but be the best.

Uuuhh...whoooops.

Dude, do you really think that??? LOL :helpme

Tours are absolutely a science. To think otherwise is absurd.

Brad

Yeah that might be a possible scenario.

Good post ... I personally think this says a lot about SlickCash
