Day 3 building declone in public (finds fake clones of your site).
Today:
- An AI agent (@boardyai) got me my first customer intro
- Found lululemonn[.]com, seized by court order
- Fixed: Costco's own sites flagged as clones
Paid plan is live. Revenue: $0. Yet.

@ChrisLangSocial 70 sends ๐ฅ Ran https://t.co/u6V6LEUBak through my clone scanner: 593 lookalikes checked, none registered. Clean today.
The risk is BFCM week: that's when copycat domains get registered to phish lists like yours.
@Puregold_PH Sorry you're dealing with this. Fake content usually moves to fake sites next: puregold[.]com is for sale right now and puregold[.]ph shows a "launching soon" page with your name. Happy to send the full list, free.
@jack_startup Honestly, I've never had luck with ads. Every time I tried, I paid to learn my message wasn't clear yet.
What's worked better for me: replying to people who already have the problem. Slower, but free and I learn faster.
@anupamrjp https://t.co/HyrUXHTCkH: paste your URL and it finds fake clones and lookalike domains of your site, with screenshots and an AI verdict. Free scan, no signup. Solo founder from Brazil ๐ง๐ท
@talesbytim@boardyai Thanks Tim! Boss fight accepted. Plan is to match your page's text and images across the web instead of the name. Will share how it goes ๐
@monterobuilds@boardyai Already live: the radar rescans every morning and emails only when something changes, like a new clone or a parked domain that suddenly gets a store. Next: watching new HTTPS certificates with your brand, so it's minutes instead of a day.
@monterobuilds@boardyai Both. It screenshots your site and every lookalike that's live (perceptual hash + color palette), compares text, HTML structure, images and favicon, then an LLM looks at both pages and gives a verdict with the evidence.
@TusharKapil003 Congrats! Ran https://t.co/Yg32SwFMB2 through my clone scanner for fun: no copies out there, but reachlee[.]com is parked and for sale. At $2k+ MRR it might be worth grabbing before someone else does ๐
@AppLauncher_App@boardyai Agreed, I'd rather explain a false positive than miss a real clone. Precision took an afternoon; recall is the actual product.
@progerallworld@boardyai Good catch, that's why shared pools don't count. Two sites on the same Cloudflare or GoDaddy pair stay suspects. It only trusts a full match on per-customer sets (Akamai, Route 53, Azure) or the brand's own nameservers.
@amiitdazz declone: paste your URL, it finds fake clones and lookalike domains of your site. Day 3 of building in public from Brazil ๐ง๐ท https://t.co/HyrUXHTCkH
@EcomWarriokhti Congrats! 2.69x on $20k spend with your first real winner is huge. Did the product or the creative click first?
(Heads up: this is also when copycat stores start showing up.)
@Guronnimo 494 clicks at avg position 9.2, nice. Is most of it the blog or the directory pages ranking? Just started a blog for declone, taking notes ๐
