And it sucks, because you can't resort to "black-hat" combat, since it could possible affect your rankings/reviews/good name.

It's a double edged sword. I got more than a handful of jobs from his post cards. He puts that domain on his advertisement. So when people google "Thompson Roof Cleaning" they're more likely to get the company best pertaining to those keywords. Granted, it does come up on some searches which is how I found it, and yes it does make him a dik. Imitation is the best form of flattery.

Ed,

If you need back up just let me know. Today was one of those days and I need to take out my frustration on something or someone.

 I met him in AC.  He had a lot of roof cleaning questions, ironically.  But you'd think if his actual company name was "Thompson Touch Window Cleaning" he'd at least have the domain www.thompsontouchwindowcleaning.com.  But he doesn't own it, because I do now.  He should've covered his own bases before he tried to cover mine.

I shot him an email. I asked him nicely to remove the ad(s). We'll see what happens.

War is hell!

This would be interesting if it played out in court.....(hope you don't need to go that route). I know you already know all this but just from an objective outsider looking in......

The problem for you is that his last name is Thompson but the good news for you is that he just recently bought the domain name and it would easily confuse the consumer. You have had your domain since Creation Date: 2009-11-10 19:01:09.

Next is the actual business name......Your logo clearly states "Thompson Roof Cleaning" where his is "Thompson Touch"  and also clearly says he is a window cleaner.

He has a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/NJWindowCleaning?ref=br_rs where he joined February 25, 2010 and it also clearly states him as Thompson Window Cleaning and has his domain name as NJWindow Cleaning dot com which was created on  2011-12-22 18:27:26

$250 for a letter from an attorney may well be worth the money. My "personal view".....as a consumer.....easily confusing and clearly stealing.

ED your web site is excellent very professional looking ,informative and also still has the personal touch ,
this other guy has it all wrong gutter cleaning is a picture of some guy blasting a chimney stack ,roof cleaning has a guy repelling down a window ,, guy is a BAWBAG , scrotum ,

I will use a lawyer if it comes to it. I've spent a lot of time and money branding our name. This little douche thinks he did me a favor by taking it down.

Doug, you set a bad precedent by doing that. If the norm becomes that you have to retrieve the domain from some dik wad everytime he decides to create a mimicking website, you'll find yourself chasing your tail. It's like black mail. In a way that's what this douche bag is doing now. His original intent was to be found on the merits of OUR good name, not his. I called him out. The right thing to do would accept that he made a jerk off move and got on with his life. But now he wants to parlay the results to his benefit. He wants his domain thompsontouchwindowcleaning.com. Isn't ironic how he failed to secure his own business name while he's out trying to copy others?

I want nothing to do with this A- hole. Totally not interested in negotiating any type of domain transfer.
