Free Web Layouts rip

[EHamilton]

Lmfao, has anyone else seen http://www.myspacestop.com/? I just thought it was funny how similar their site looks to free web layouts, it's obviously not a direct rip but you get the point. I understand MSRS sites looking similar since it's a premade script, but I'm pretty sure free web layouts script isn't a premade one.

hmmm its not that similar...

but I know what your talking about....

100% obvious they want to be like freeweblayouts.net. I disagree Connections, I'd say very similar. In the way the site is laid out and also little details that are clearly copied.

Put all the 'copied' facts together and it isn't just coincidence, it's a copy.

I guess if you're goig to copy, copy the leader. The site stats aren't half bad, I'd like these figures: http://extremetracking.com/open;sum?login=mstop1

i was noticing that too...but yet its not quite as bad as this site
http://www.flaproductions.net
which is a DIRECT rip of their site. as in, you see that cinderella story layout? yes i made it, and not for them thats for sure.
i already told david about it so w/e their obviously ignoring his emails, but what a idiot for not even editing the <fwl code="layout"> in the code
fwl=freeweblayouts.

How does a site like that get so much traffic from myspace alone?

http://www.google.com/search?q=myspacestop&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official

And it has very little backlinks. When i type in the name of my site, it only gets 7k daily but it has 20k+ backlinks.

Some of their layouts say "layoutcentral.net" and that domain redirects to myspacestop.com, so I'm guessing that's their old site.

still dont get how they get so much traffic with little backlinks, i have a feeling this extreme c ounter is inflated

785168 80.57% http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm

this is where they get thier traffic from...

still yse these figures do not add up...

[joshspace]

Are they paying myspace.com for traffic or something?

[fryman]

Not unles they are spending like $50,000 for it

profile.myspace links mean that the traffic is comming from the profile of users who are using their layouts, graphics, cursors etc etc....

[DavidR]

I think the a traffic could be legit to a point. My site has been going for a couple weeks (As I keep rambling on about...) and It's already getting quite a bit of traffic from MySpace profiles. So if a site has been up for a handful of months and has (as myspacestop does) quality layouts I think it's possible.

Or here's where the 'legit to a point' comment I made comes in, maybe (not saying he does, this is a possibility) he uses sneeky tactics, like changing the home button to point to his site, or the LogOut button.
