Anyone who visits your site (who are more likely to be interested in and knowledgeable about your niche than random people here) could copy it if they wanted to.

By posting here you may increase your traffic/ad revenue, now and/or in the future (not everyone cares about or has the time to rip off every site they see), and you may get some constructive, helpful comments or advice.

Totally your choice, just giving possible benefits.

But if you visit my site, you wouldn't know if it makes money and how much. So you don't know if it's worth days of work copying it.

True, though you don't know if it's worth it anyway until you spend the time to do it. Just because you make $200 with your (established and known) site doesn't guarantee someone else would just by copying it.

I do get your point of view though, and it's fair enough, I just think the risk of someone copying a site they see here (and hurting that site's bottom line) is minimal.

I doubt you're going to copy every site on this page and I know I'm not, and yet they collectively bring in several thousand dollars a month.

Anyway, good luck with your site, whatever it is. :) And to everyone else who posted.

I think these kind of threads are really interesting, mainly just to see the different kinds of sites or apps people are making, but I think they serve as an inspiration for people to create something themselves (not just copy), and I'm glad people are not shy about posting what they're doing.
