   I know that sucks, But It happens all the time in the business we are in.That is the reason I don’t discuss the niches I am in with anyone.

   @Amit,

   From now on I’ll also take better care of this thing.

   Competition brings success, dont worry mate.

   @Deniz,

   I have to take it that way only now, no other choice. Thanks mate :)

   I would like to say, Competition is inevitable. It helps you to pull yourself up and concentrate better on your business. Also “Keep your friends close, Enemies closer”.

6. Amit October 20, 2008 5:40 pm

   All I can say is Get Over it buddy.

   @Azhar,

   More than competition, what irking me more is that He Was A Friend After All.

   @Amit,

   I am cool now and will let this post standing.

   Hey Saahil,
   Talented people like you should never feel insecured,

   people who copy get stuck everytime at everytime, people who create will always be confident to make them successful.

   Thanks

    Even we should learn from your experiences

11. Manpreet Singh October 22, 2008 11:48 pm

    I dont see any point getting frustrated here…Nobody can take your knowledge…As a matter of fact John Chow, Darren Rowse, Amit, Myself all other bloggers share knowledge only….

    Many drive inspiration from top blogs..but nobody is able to replace them..they are where they..In a event of following them we may get big..but they aint going to be smaller..

    I also saw a list of blogs you prepared to surf through web in one of your posts..which means you also gather knowledge from others too. So chill mate..you are whiz kid of your jungle keep going on..

    The only thing of worry is if that friend of yours is copying your website content direclty..than you should bang him.. :)

    Hmmm it happens quite a lot of time, but then you should never post in anger, some things should be kept personal.

    I have problems too quite a lot of time, but I don’t post about it on my main blog, I use my personal blog to vent out my anger.

    This is another lesson you should learn :P.

    @Keith,

    This is my personal blog. And I did feel a bit relieved after posting the above post.

14. Sahil Gupta October 23, 2008 11:33 am

    @Manpreet,

    I am human, I have a basic right of getting frustrated with something a human is supposed to get frustrated.

    I do share knowledge with others, you can read some SEO articles here and there on this blog.

    I have no problem with competition because an added competitor is like a small drop in a cup of water. My problem is with the way he did it.

    You talk about biggies like John Chow, Darren Rowse… you know only what they want you to know about them. You never know how much they hide.

    All I learned from this case is that not all information is shareable. “Share in limits”.

    Thanks

15. Manpreet Singh October 23, 2008 2:25 pm

    Ya that’s correct..Intelligence must prevail..But I think you should make a move on…because small hurdles may stop you from aiming big..

    Why Im saying so is that I have 5 to 10 such cases with myself where people istead of thanking have even back stabbed me to whom I gave my knowledge to…

    But that’s a part and parcel of game mate…It hurts I know it hurts badly..when kids of yesterday(in knowledge) try to appear thanklessly as uncle in front of you and that too as your competitors..

    But this is was the way life goes..I felt hurt but made a move on without much anger and converted that shell or down slide to my use by exploring more knowledge & time today is going good for me..

    @Manpreet
