How do I protect my unique website idea from posers imitating my idea?

As with anything on the internet- anything can be copied, stolen or ripped off. Its one of the biggest problems with the internet. Just keep the idea to yourself and develop it as far as you can before sending it live. That way you will have a better chance of staying ahead of any copycats.

Also, when you get it live, make sure you constantly keep adding value to it. By doing this you will gain loyalty from users and it will be less likely they will go to copycat sites. Constant improvement is a good tactic as you will always be the best in theory and usually in practice.

Hope this helps.
