 Why does Google allow Pissed Consumer to rank so high

nu83boston@gmail.com Apr 30 08:07PM -0700  

Why does Google allow PissedConsumer.com to rank so highly? Clearly this
is an extortion site. Once your in their sites their PissedConsumer review
turns up on page 1 Google and the only way to deal with it is to pay
PissedConsumer.com a monthly fee to manage your bad reviews.
http://www.pissedconsumer.com/business-solutions.html This is in sane!
 
While doing some homework attempting to figure out how they get away with
this I found this detailed summary on how PissedConsumer.com is scamming
and spamming the search engines to get high ranking. Have look at this
article here:
http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/pissedconsumer-link-farm-dominating-google-serps
 
For those not tech savvy here is what they are doing in a nut shell:
 
- Google ranks sites (page 1 verses page 2) based on the relevance of
inbound links.
- Pissed Consumer bought lots of other websites (RipOffReport is one of
hundreds) and places links from RipOffReport to PissedConsumer
- Google sees these links and thinks RipOff is relevant to a Pissed Off
Consumer - so they give them ranking credit. (highly simplified, but you
understand)
- PissedConsumer then charges the business mentioned in their
PissedConsumer report to help manage their poor reputation for a monthly
fee. Think I'm kidding? Have a look for yourself:
http://www.pissedconsumer.com/business-solutions.html
 
Think of the thousands of large companies paying PissedConsumer $250/month
to "manage" their consumer comments? Can you say extortion?
 
Pissed Consumer = Web Extortion - it is that simple.
 
I think ever business in America should block Google on their firewall
until they get their act together on this one.

You answered the question perfectly. You are correct in all assumptions in
my book. I do however believe Google will take care of the issue very soon.
Penguin 2.0 may be the answer.
 
It gets much worse if I may so.
 
Image someone you cant identify makes a huge site about how bad your
company sucks, then goes and gets it to climb in the organic serps under
your business name. A few months later, the site is magically for sale, and
the company being extorted is the only one that has a interest in the site.
Pure extortion 100%. If Google does not a get a handle on this it may
spiral even worse and very soon.
 
Private email me to see this extortion I speak of - I don't want too much
attention going to it.
 
I'm glad to see some raving about this, it's about time.

 New information from Matt Cutts on SEO

Reg Charie <reg.charie@gmail.com> May 13 10:33AM -0700  

Less than an hour ago MC released a new vid outlining Google's intended
changes in SEO.
 
Next gen of Penguin (V2.0) targets black hat webspam with more
comprehensive link evaluations.. deeper impact. Link spammers less likely
to show up.
 
Ads should not flow PR and it should be obvious that ads are ads.
 
More sophisticated link analysis - Spam links less effective.
 
Next generation hacked site detection, additional webmaster tools for
hacked sites.
 
Authority sites will rank better. (Looks like PR is again in the SEO mix)
 
Softening Panda factors for borderline sites.
 
Decreased clustering on page 1 of results.
Fewer results after a cluster is found.

 English keyword to local google (Vietnam)

"sao.sangmo" <sao.sangmo@gmail.com> May 13 12:30PM -0700  

Hi,
I have built many backlinks to promote 2 keywords on my site. One is "cau
truc", another is "crane".
Two words are the same in each language.
But only "cau truc" is on top 3 at google.com.vn.
The "crane" is not top 100 at google.com.vn.
 
Please guide me more if I do something wrong.
 
My site: http://www.megastarenc.com.vn
 
thanks


 

 ranking and index Problem ?

Reg Charie <reg.charie@gmail.com> May 13 10:41AM -0700  

Your site is top heavy with ads and probably falls into the Google "top
heavy" penalty.
