Hi folks,
I recently registered a .ie website and was planning to put up a classified directory as a bit of a business venture. In fact I put up the website, but had not got around to launching it yet due to other commitments (was hoping to launch it at the end of the summer). In the mean time someone has registered the .com version (which I could not originally acquire) and has put up their own classified directory using a logo, which is extremely close to my own and a tag line that is exactly the same bar one word (free). I know the whole concept behind a classified website wasn't exactly new, but I still I feel like I've been copied big time - is there anything I can do? Here are the URLs
irelandads.ie (my site)
irelandads.com (the newer site with a remarkably similar tag line and logo)
